Dr A Q Khan Successfully ‘Duck and Dodge’ Mossad
Israeli spy agency had also assassinated Dr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, regarded as the chief of Iran's nuclear program, in 2020
Former Mossad Chief acknowledged they would have killed Dr A Q Khan but the Israeli spy agency couldn’t figure out what Pakistan’s nuclear-bomb father was up to.
Pakistan finally tested its nuclear weapon on May 28, 1998, but it had achieved the capability several years ago.
Dr A Q Khan traveled extensively to Middle Eastern countries after succeeding in his mission.
An Israeli newspaper Haaretz claimed the Pakistani scientist sold drawings and plans of centrifuges to Iran.
It accused Dr A Q Khan of offering nuclear information to the middle eastern nations.
After this, Israel’s intelligence service Mosaad, led by Chief Shabtai Shavit then, started overseeing Dr A Q Khan’s activities.
Mosaad had also assassinated Dr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, regarded as the chief of Iran’s nuclear program, in 2020.
They apparently wanted to do so with A Q Khan but couldn’t succeed in guessing.

Nearly 15 years ago, Shavit had told Yossi Melman, the writer of the story for Haaretz, that Mossad and military intelligence Aman did not figure out what the Pakistani nuclear scientist was up to.
“Shavit added that had he and his colleagues correctly interpreted Khan’s intentions, he would have considered sending a Mossad team to kill Khan and thus “change the course of history,” at least in the context of Israel-Iran relations”.
Therefore, Dr A Q Khan can be referred to as one of the few nuclear Muslim scientists who could not be assassinated by the Mossad and died a natural death.
