Israel planned to strike Pak nukes
PTI[ MONDAY, MARCH 08, 2004 10:28:44 PM ] : Israel planned to strike Pak nukes
WASHINGTON: Israel, which successfully destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor, also considered a pre-emptive strike to destroy Pakistan's nuclear facilities, according to State Department papers released by the National Security Archive, a private research agency.
Newly declassified papers obtained by the Archive shows that at a Friday morning session on September 14, 1979 of the US General Advisory Committee on Arms Control and Disarmament, Assistant Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Charles Van Doren discussed "apparent Israeli consideration of military action against Pakistan."
The United States itself, he said, had not discussed (with Israel) "pre-emption plans."
The declassified paper provides no further details but it is known that AQ Khan, Father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb , and others had described Pakistan's nuclear bomb as an "Islamic bomb" and rich Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia and Libya reportedly provided financing while China provided technical aid , nuclear materials and a design for the bomb.
Blueprints stolen by Khan from the Netherlands enabled Pakistan to build centrifuges to refine uranium to bomb-grade.

Israel not only planned but also attempted in 1989. They entered Pak from Khuzdar (Balouchistan) but found out Pak air def and PAF ready to offer them a cup of tea. They had to run back with tail between their legs. They were later on given a message that if this stupid attempt is repeated they will get a nuke wedding gift in return.
