Now that President Pervez Musharraf has exposed one of the greatest nuclear proliferation scandals in history, the question gripping Pakistan is who will take the blame. President Musharraf has already said the government and army were not involved in the sale of nuclear technology to Libya and two "axis of evil" countries, Iran and North Korea. Instead, he has blamed scientists acting for personal gain. Last week, the mastermind of Pakistan's nuclear program, Abdul Qadeer Khan, was sacked as adviser to the prime minister on science after reportedly confessing to his role. But can Musharraf let national heroes such as Khan carry the can, when many Pakistanis and diplomats think they could not have acted without the knowledge and involvement of the military? Khan is widely reported to have said he was acting on the indirect instructions of two former army chiefs, General Aslam Beg and General Jehangir Karamat. (Reuters)
