a bomb2 Khan Network Had Advanced Nuclear Warhead Design

The Washington Post is reporting that the now defunct A.Q. Khan nuclear smuggling ring was in possession of a far more advanced nuclear warhead design than has been previously reported. The blueprints were discovered on seized computers and showed how to build a compact nuclear warhead that would easily fit atop ballistic missiles. Specifically, the kind of missiles that both North Korea and Iran possess.

The real stink of it is that U.S. intelligence and the U.N. simply have no idea who the blueprints may have been shared with before they were discovered.
