<h2>Father Of Pakistan's Atomic Weapons Program</h2>
<p>
<b>Abdul Qadeer Khan</b>, known as A. Q. Khan, was a Pakistani nuclear physicist and metallurgical engineer
who is colloquially known as the "father of Pakistan's atomic weapons program".
An émigré (Muhajir) from India who migrated to Pakistan in 1952, Khan was educated in the metallurgical
engineering departments of Western European technical universities where he pioneered studies in phase
transitions of metallic alloys, uranium metallurgy, and isotope separation based on gas centrifuges. After
learning of India's "Smiling Buddha" nuclear test in 1974, Khan joined his nation's clandestine efforts to
develop atomic weapons when he founded the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) in 1976 and was both its chief
scientist and director for many years.
In January 2004, Khan was subjected to a debriefing by the Musharraf administration over evidence of nuclear
proliferation handed to them by the Bush administration of the United States. Khan admitted his role in
running a nuclear proliferation network, only to retract his statements in later years when he leveled
accusations at the former administration of Pakistan's Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 1990, and also
directed allegations at President Musharraf over the controversy in 2008.
Khan was accused of selling nuclear secrets illegally and was put under house arrest in 2004. After years of
house arrest, Khan successfully filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government of Pakistan at the Islamabad
High Court whose verdict declared his debriefing unconstitutional and freed him on 6 February 2009.
After his death on 10 October 2021, he was given a state funeral at Faisal Mosque before being buried at the
H-8 graveyard in Islamabad.
