The government might put engineers Muhammad Farooq and Saeed Ahmed of the Kahuta Research Laboratories (KRL) on trial for alleged wrongdoing regarding Pakistanâs nuclear know-how. âSome sections of the government would like to put the two engineers on trial after investigations into their conduct are completed,â sources told Daily Times. The two nuclear engineers are being questioned for allegedly aiding Iranâs nuclear programme for money. âMr Farooqâs job is intact, but at the very least he will be dismissed once the debriefing is finished,â the sources said.
| So his job's not really intact, it's in the chute on its way to the toilet. But while he's in the chute, he can still make notes for when he sets up in business for himself. |
Mr Farooq was earlier demoted to director when Dr AQ Khan was asked to leave the KRL. He was the director general of KRL foreign procurement before that. The sources said the government had questioned about 30 people regarding the allegations against the nuclear scientists, but these people had not been detained. It is learnt that Mr Farooq fell ill during investigations. |
