Saddam could have got the nuclear weopans, if India agreed to his request.But India refused because its own weapons were there for defending its nation,it did not want nuclear weapon in the hands of a dictatar. Internationally renowned nuclear physicist Raja Ramanna is among those who have met Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, but is not unduly keen to recollect the encounter.
The former member of Parliament met Hussein in Iraq in 1978.
Dr Ramanna, who once headed the Atomic Energy Commission, reluctantly revealed that the meeting took place at the invitation of the Iraqi leader.Hussein apparently invited Ramanna as he wanted to enlist the help of India's premier scientist to develop Iraq's nuclear prowess.
When he got there, Ramanna was given a grand tour of Iraq's nuclear facilities. Later, Hussein made an offer to the scientist to work with him and help make Iraq a nuclear power to reckon with.
scientist commited to be silence and quiety next morning left Iraq.
