Lybia's nuke program and affiliation with the axis of evil
DEBKAfiles:
...
"More than a year ago, on October 25, 2002, DEBKA-Net-Weekly revealed that Libya aided by North Korea was working on a nuclear weapons program at a top-secret underground site near the Kufra Oasis of the Sahara in southeastern Libya. The team was made up of North Korean scientists, engineers and technicians, as well as 200-300 Iraqi nuclear scientists, whose salaries are paid to this day – possibly out of Saddam’s secret bank accounts which are controlled by his cousin Barzan Ibrahim al-Tikrity.
"The two Arab dictators were therefore partners in the development of a nuclear bomb. If Sharon’s intelligence was correct, the deposed Iraqi ruler would have been in a position to arm himself with a jointly-funded nuclear weapon at the same time as Qaddafi, by mid-2004. A small band of Iraqi scientists carrying the necessary items would have simply joined the traffic of Arab combatants and terrorists heading into Iraq through Syria and brought the weapons into the country.
...
"After Iraq was knocked out of the equation, North Korea, Iran and Libya still maintained a working tripartite axis for developing nuclear weapons. This neat setup of rogue states, Qaddafi’s exit has now severed.
"Not much is known about how this nuclear partnership worked. DEBKAfile’s analysts believe it functioned on the principle of each member farming out vital sections of its projects to its fellow-members. The distribution of these modules helped each partner pull the wool over the eyes of International Atomic Energy Agency’s inspectors.
"Iran, which is now in the final stages of uranium enrichment for its nuclear program, is badly hit, having counted on taking delivery and fitting into place key parts of its weapons project made in Libya. The Iranians have made substantial investments of money and manpower in their nuclear program. But they may have no choice now but to slow down or reduce output. North Korea may also be forced to scale back the production of nuclear devices as well as counting the loss of a lucrative source of income for its Scuds and nuclear technology.
"Qaddafi by quitting the nuclear race has also ditched Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Syria, all of whom secretly put money in the Kufra project, hoping for a stake in Libya’s nuclear umbrella."
