From Times Wire Reports
Pakistani officials said two scientists at the country’s top nuclear lab were being questioned by intelligence agents.
Some newspapers suggested the pair were being questioned over allegations Pakistan transferred nuclear technology to Iran. The Foreign Office denied that, saying it was a “routine debriefing,” and that Pakistan had no links with Iran’s program.
An intelligence official said the men worked for Khan Research Laboratories, headed by Abdul Qadeer Khan, father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb.
