WASHINGTON: The father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb said North Korea’s government paid more than $3 million in bribes to top Pakistani military officials to obtain nuclear technology, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Abdul Qadeer Khan has released a copy of a letter from a North Korean official dated 1998 which details the deal, the Post said.
The letter says that $3 million was paid to one Pakistani military official, while another was given a half-million dollars and some jewelry. It appears to be signed by North Korean Workers Party Secretary Jon Byong, the newspaper said.
