Australian ABC news says:

"The revelations from the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb about a clandestine network for nuclear technology are just the "tip of the iceberg" about such illegal trafficking, UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Thursday.

Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, revered as a hero in Pakistan for founding the country's nuclear programme, has begged forgiveness in a broadcast televised to the nation on Wednesday where he admitted leaking nuclear secrets abroad.

Mr ElBaradei, the head of the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters at IAEA headquarters in Vienna that "Dr Khan is the tip of the iceberg for us."

Investigators earlier said Dr Khan had shared sensitive nuclear technology with Iran, Libya and North Korea for more than a decade.

Mr ElBaradei said Dr Khan "was not working alone." "

No surprise here. I applaud the admission and hope we accept the pardon in hopes of encouraging others to come forward. Amnesty could be a real good thing.
