Good list. It actually shows it was a team effort and not owned one person. Over the last decades some have tried to take exclusive credit. With regards to list I feel it does extreme injury to the contribution of Dr Abdus Salam who I think has been ignored as is the fashion in Pakistan these days because of his minority Ahmedi background. This is how I would place the list.Heroes of our nuclear programme:
I) Ayub Khan: Made good use of American atoms for peace programme to get a sizable number of local scientists and engineers trained in the relevant field .
2) Zulfiqar Bhutto: Envisaged a Pakistani nuclear test and motivated an entire generation of young Pakistanis to pursue this dream.
3) Dr Samar Mubarakmand: Led the team which designed of the war heads for both hot and cold testing.
4) A Q Khan: Pioneered our uranium enrichment programme, to provide "fuel" for the war heads.
5) Ghulam Ishaq Khan: The silent soldier and guardian of our nuclear quest. The financial wizard who ran the most complicated racket to finance the programme.
6) Agha Hasan Abidi: The great Gatsby of his time. The man who left the entire world in a tailspin with his financial wizardry to finance our nukes.
7) General K M Arif: oversaw the daily functioning of A Q Khan and PAEC's parallel efforts and presided over the cold testing of our warheads in 1983.
8) Zulfiqar Ahmed Butt: The spymaster from ISI who turned nearly every Pakistani embassy in Europe into a super espionage station to run the technology and machine procurement system with remarkable success and stealth.
9) Air Marshal Najeeb Akhtar: The man who re-mastered the war heads designed by our scientists into payload for the newly acquired F-16s, to develop aerial drop capability for Pakistan way before India.
10) Ishfaq Ahmed Khan: The brain behind the creation of nuclear testing fields within the bowels of Ras Koh mountains and the second mastermind behind the designing of our warheads after Samar Mubarakmand.

BS, Israel's arsenal is bigger than both UK and France possibly even China, in the 400 warhead range.
