Chinese arms sale to Pak continues: report PRESS TRUST OF INDIA WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. — China is continuing to provide Pakistan with material for weapons of mass destruction, media reports quoting intelligence officials has said. US intelligence agencies had detected a shipment of material used in making chemical weapons in early September. The shipment was described as a “dual use” precursor chemical destined for Pakistan’s chemical-arms programme, the Washington Post reported. Officials, who wished not to be named, did not identify the Chinese state-run company involved in the chemical transfer but said that it was one of the several companies that had been involved in earlier chemical arms-related deliveries, the daily said. Discovery of the chemical-related shipment came after 1 September, when the Bush Administration imposed sanctions on a Chinese State-run company for supplying missile technology to Pakistan. That missile technology transfer violated a pledge made in November by Beijing not to provide any material for foreign nuclear missile programmes. The missile goods sale, detected in August, involved material for Pakistan’s Shaheen-1 and Shaheen-2 missiles, both of which are regarded as nuclear-capable systems.
