Pakistan names businessman in nuclear probe
A Pakistani businessman has been named as one of several people detained for questioning over the global nuclear black market run by disgraced scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. Pakistani military spokesman Major-General Shaukat Sultan said Aizaz Jafri, a hotelier, had been detained but declined to give further details. President Pervez Musharraf said earlier this month 11 people had been detained for questioning over nuclear proliferation after Dr Khan, eulogised as the father of Pakistan's atom bomb, admitted peddling nuclear secrets abroad. Dr Khan said he acted independently in leaking the nuclear secrets. General Musharraf later pardoned him.Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2004-02-14 |
