An explosives scanning machine has been installed in the residence of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan that his family must pass through every time they leave or enter the house. The unannounced fresh restrictions on the disgraced nuclear scientist and his family have stressed the entire household, a family friend told Daily Times. The source said even Dr AQ Khan's wife was required to pass through the scanning machine.
The top level source also said that Aysha Khan, Dr Khan's youngest daughter, had been stopped from visiting her detained father without explanation. Aysha runs a private school in Islamabad. Her husband, Saad Khan, was imprisoned in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for several days some months ago after he beat up a British diplomat. He and his family have been put on a visa blacklist by Western embassies since the quarrel.
Dr AQ Khan's eldest daughter, Dina Khan, left Pakistan shortly after her father was put under house arrest, allegedly with an "insurance policy" some "important documents". Dina's 13-year-old daughter Tania is still staying with Dr AQ Khan at his house. |
