TEHRAN, June 16 (UPI) -- Iran has blueprints and technology to make nuclear warheads that could fit could fit onto Shehab-3 missiles, a former U.N. weapons inspector claims.
The information is contained in former U.N. inspector David Albright's report into the nuclear smuggling ring run by the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, Abdul Qadeer Khan, DEBKA-Net-Weekly reported Monday.
Albright alleged the nuclear blueprints passed to Libya, Iran and North Korea included "previously undisclosed designs for a compact warhead that could fit on Iran's medium-range ballistic missiles."
The nuclear blueprints were sold in deals to the three countries and possibly al-Qaida, during the late 1990s, DEBKA reported.
In May, Swiss President Pascal Couchepin said he ordered the destruction of 30,000 documents -- including nuclear weapons' construction plans, gas ultra-centrifuges to enrich weapons-grade uranium and guided missile delivery systems -- that were used as evidence in a criminal case of a Swiss family of three engineers involved in the Khan ring.
"We should be troubled on many levels, Albright told CNN Monday. "Its very important that we start go put pressure on the government to get to the bottom of this."
