Abdul Qadeer Khan, also known as the father of Pakistan's nuclear weapon program, dies at 85. Being marked by the BBC as the world's most dangerous man and being compared to Osama bin Laden by the former CIA Director Geroge Tenet was very intriguing. Khan was very engaging with international politics. He's been seen as having secured Pakistan's safety against India's threat and working hand in hand with North Korea missile technology. He often questioned Western countries' hypocrisy of not letting other countries keep weapons for their security. Khan also took part in the attacks of 9/11 since it is believed that he sold nuclear technology to Iran. However, Khan was nationalistic; he promoted education in Pakistan and engaged in the space program. Pakistan's nuclear weapons program has been a significant national pride to the Pakistani people making A.Q Khan seen as a hero.
