Father of the Indian nuclear programme, Raja Ramanna visited Iraq in 1978 where Saddam Hussain asked him for help in making Iraq’s nuclear weapon. He kept this visit a secret for years and only revealed in the aftermath of first Iraqi invasion fearing revelation of his visit. He denied accepting Saddam’s offer, but it is almost certain that he did provide help to build Iraq’s nuclear weapons programme. In 1978, Saddam Hussain is asking for Ramanna’s help and within almost three years thence Iraq’s nuclear weapon programme was almost ready. Israel attacked Osirak and destroyed it in 1981.
Therefore, father of the Indian nuclear programme started selling their country’s nuclear technology much earlier. I wonder if AQ Khan was pushed in this field by Raja Ramanna himself.
Nope - I meant dhui gas. Idiot.
