SEOUL, June 20 (UPI) -- Renegade Pakistani scientists may be helping North Korea develop nuclear weapons, the South Korean Yonhap news agency reported Sunday.
Quoting a report from the state-run Korea Institute for National Unification in Seoul, the agency said the north might have achieved a higher level of technology for enriched uranium with the help of foreign scientists.
"Nine Pakistani nuclear scientists have been missing since they left their country six years ago and we cannot rule out the possibility that some of them are in North Korea," institute officials said.
Pakistan's chief nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, who confessed in February to selling nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, also told his interrogators he had visited North Korea in 1999 and saw "three nuclear devices" at a secret underground plant.
