How Iraq hid its nuclear weapons program

Article Abstract:

Iraq has been able to keep its nuclear weapons program secret by initiating a series of astute moves. Iraqi Pres Saddam Hussein orchestrated the clandestine nuclear weapons program, first by making it appear that the country was worthy of nuclear assistance and later by signing nuclear cooperation agreements with friendly states. The country was able to acquire technology and expertise for developing nuclear weapons with the full support of the International Atomic Energy Agency, lending legitimacy to bogus projects and allowing Saddam to put a formidable nuclear regime.
