Pak scientists offered Osama nukes before 9/11

In fact, in his writings and speeches, Mahmood had advocated sharing Pakistan's nuclear weapons technology with
other Islamic nations to hasten the "end of days", which he believed would give rise to Muslim dominance in the world,
according to the book which the Los Angeles Times says is a "richly reported" one. Not only Mahmood, former Pakistani President Musharraf had subsequently forced AQ Khan into taking retirement though he was a bit worried over a possible domestic backlash as the nuclear scientist was considered a "hero" in Pakistan. So, he had offered him not only a graceful exit but also a ceremonial position as an advisor to him, post retirement.
