Project 706: The Muslim Bomb
' The money was loaded in suitcases and flown secretly from Tripoli to Pakistan. There was more than 100 million dollars, in cash.' In Panorama a former Pakistan official describes how Libya's COLONEL GADDAFI financed Pakistan's atom bomb project: ' In return, Gaddafi said he wanted the first atom bomb.' Pakistan denies building the bomb, but reporter Philip Tibenham reveals the extraordinary story of Project 706, the country's secret nuclear programme, and shows how Pakistan is now buying components in Europe worth millions of pounds. How soon can Pakistan explode a bomb? Why have Western governments apparently done so little to stop the Muslim bomb?
