The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad was possibly behind bomb attacks targeting Germany and Switzerland-based companies who are accused of playing an active role in helping to develop Pakistan's nuclear weapons program in the 1980s., Neue Zürcher Zeitung , the attacks and threats were made to prevent these companies from supporting Pakistan’s program, as it was seen as cooperating with Iran at the time.
Soon after, Khan quit the FDO when Urenco offered him a senior technical position, initially leading studies on uranium metallurgy. Fast forward to the late 1980s, Pakistan signed a civilian nuclear agreement with Iran under the ‘Atoms for Peace’ program which Pakistan insisted was for peaceful means. While it was later revealed that Dr Khan did share a secret report on centrifuges with the Iranians, it is worth noting that a 2005 report from the International Economic Agency stated that the cooperation between Pakistan and Iran was largely non-military and peaceful in nature.
Hence, then US President Jimmy Carter decided not to intervene directly to avoid tarnishing relations with Islamabad. The attacks were followed by phone calls in which strangers threatened other companies in English or broken German. The NZZ, which has seen the investigation files, indicated that sometimes callers would order threats to be taped.
