His group, the Palestine Liberation Front, has accused the U.S. of assassinating Abbas. The U.S. military says he died of a heart attack...

Since then, components associated with URENCO technology, consultants or sub-contractors have been said to have turned up in Iran, Iraq, Libya and North Korea. Last week, for example, the United Nations nuclear agency said it found undeclared components compatible with advanced uranium-enrichment centrifuge designs in Iran. The components were compatible with a so-called "P2" uranium-enrichment centrifuge, a Pakistani version of the URENCO "G2" centrifuge. The P2 can be used to produce material for nuclear weapons...
