Pak nuclear scientist rejects US media report
Islamabad , March 16, IRNA – Father of Pakistan nuclear program Dr. Abdul Qadir
Khan here Monday strongly rejected US media report that said nuclear scientist

obtained by the daily, that Pakistan gave Iran parts for centrifuges to purify
uranium and a secret worldwide list of suppliers.

against him. “I haven’t done any wrong”, he made it clear.

baseless conspiracies.

of fiction, which surface occasionally for purposes that are self-evident
Abdul Basit, Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman said A.Q Khan is a closed
chapter and Pakistan ’s non-proliferation credentials are second to none and
its export controls are foolproof.
