Putting the entire blame of Pakistan's record of nuclear proliferation on disgraced nuclear scientist A Q Khan, President Pervez Musharraf [Images] has alleged that several Indians worked for Khan's network in Dubai.

He also said that India's uranium enrichment technology "could be a copy" of Pakistani centrifuge design.

There is little doubt that A Q Khan was the central figure in the proliferation network but he was assisted over the years by a number of money-seeking freelancers from different countries, Musharraf wrote in his book In the Line of Fire.

While these 'freelancers' who included people from Holland, Switzerland [Images], Dubai and Europe, simultaneously pursued their own business independently, 'ironically the network based in Dubai had employed several Indians, some of whom have since vanished,' Musharraf wrote in his biography.

'There is a strong probability that the Indian uranium enrichment programme may also have its roots in the Dubai based network and could be a copy of the Pakistani centrifuge design,' he said.

Making Khan a villain of nuclear proliferation to Iran, Libya and North Korea, Musharraf said, 'I can say with confidence that neither the Pakistan Army nor any of the past governments of Pakistan was ever involved or had any knowledge of A Q's proliferation activities.'
