VIENNA, June 9 (UPI) -- United Nations nuclear watchdog officials in Vienna are concerned several sets of blueprints for making nuclear bombs are still unaccounted for.
Although the Pakistani-based blueprint smuggling ring of scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan was discovered and halted two years ago, officials with the International Atomic Energy Agency fear several missing blueprints could be for sale on the international market, The Guardian said Thursday.
Khan's network was known to be selling to Libya and Iran, although Libya has surrendered all of its nuclear material.
A senior IAEA official said several sets of blueprints for uranium centrifuges which were peddled by the Khan network have gone missing.
"We know there were several sets of them prepared," the official told the newspaper. "So who got those electronic drawings? We have only actually got to the one full set from Libya. So who got the rest, the copies?"
