Pakistan has denied allegations that its disgraced nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan may have sold secrets to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Arab countries.| "No! Certainly not!" |
"The inventory is complete," he said, adding that there was "no way to deliver A Q Khan to anyone". The extent of Dr Khan's arms network may be raised by [Britain's] foreign secretary, Jack Straw, when he visits Islamabad next week.
Pakistan says it is conducting its own investigation of Dr Khan's network, but the US and Britain are worried that the nuclear secrets could end up with al-Qaida or other terrorists. The US ambassador in Islamabad said Pakistan had undertaken to share the results of the investigation. Pakistani nuclear analysts believe the extent of Dr Khan's network suggests that other officials were involved, hence the reluctance to let foreigners question him.
