| Pakistan rejects UK paper report |
| 2002-12-21 |
| Pakistan has strongly rejected the report published in The Times of London on Friday alleging that a Pakistani scientist had offered Iraq nuclear weapons designs in 1990. Reacting to the report foreign secretary Riaz Khokhar said on Friday that the latest allegation was a part of the ongoing "campaign of inspired leaks based on pure fiction following on the baseless allegations regarding Pakistan's cooperation with North Korea." "Lies! All lies! Base calumny and propaganda!" He indicated Pakistan's intention to take up the matter in the UN Security Council when it takes up its seat in January. "We shall speak to the management about this!" Pakistan would call for an investigation to reveal the sources of "such mischievous allegations" and their true motivation, Mr Khokhar stated. "To put the record straight, Pakistan may also ask for full access to the Iraqi documents," he said. "Yeah! Who talked? I mean, who made up these lies?" |
