Malaysia Police Report into AQ Khan network

On 10th November 2003, CIA and MI6 representatives met with the Director of the Special Branch in Malaysia to discuss an ongoing investigation related to the international network suspected of transferring nuclear technology to third countries, notably Libya. The focal points of the investigation were the involvement of a Pakistani nuclear scientist and BSA Tahir, a Sri Lankan businessman based in Dubai. It was alleged that Tahir used his company, SCOPE, to produce components for Libya's uranium enrichment programme. In response to the investigation, the Malaysian Prime Minister ordered a thorough and transparent investigation. To ensure its integrity, Malaysia cooperated with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) throughout the investigation process.
