text: Chaudhry Abdul Majeed (born:1937; Urdu:  چودہری عبد لمجيد ) was a Pakistani nuclear chemist, nuclear weapon and reactor expert. He is known as one of the pioneers of Pakistans nuclear weapon programme, and has worked closely with former Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) Chairman Munir Ahmad Khans plutonium reprocessing project. He rose to prominence when he was apprehended by Pakistans intelligence agencies in a joint operation in late October 2001. Majeed was also one of the founding members of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmoods Ummah Tameer-e-Nau organisation; an NGO which caused an international embarrassment for Pakistan.
