New York : United States was remained on the dark side of the page until 1987 about Pakistan's secret atomic programme, and still was unable to do any thing due to ongoing Afghan-Russia war as at that time Russia was on the verge of defeat and any wrong move could have derailed the process.
This was revealed in the unclassified documents by NSI Yesterday.
The document further states that Regan Administration deliberately kept quite on the issue after the a Pakistani man Arshad Pervaiz was arrested in United States who was acquiring illegal equipment in connection of Pakistani Atomic Programme.
The report also says that, U.S administration started taking measures to stop the Pakistani Atomic Programme and many meeting between than Pakistani dictator General Zia-ul-Haq and United Under Secretary Armacost took place on the issue.
General Zia-ul-Haq was killed in a plane crash on 17 August, 1988 after Soviet Union withdrew their troops, which resulted in a breakaway of many of its republics.
