Pak nuke scientist detained
  • BY JAMES TARANTO WSJ Opinion On-Line Best of the Web Today
    "Pakistani officials detained a pro-Taliban scientist who played a key role in helping Pakistan become a nuclear power," the Washington Times reports. "The government said Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood had been placed in protective custody. . . . Mr. Mahmood's links with Islamic groups and his pro-Taliban sentiments had drawn scrutiny from Pakistani security agencies in recent months, sources at the energy commission said."
