Pakistan: Disgraced scientist case closed

Pakistan’s foreign minister ruled out any future investigation into whether the military helped a disgraced scientist spread nuclear weapons to rogue states.

The scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan said last week that Pakistan’s army supervised a 2000 shipment of used P-1 centrifuges to North Korea. It must have been sent with the approval of President Pervez Musharraf, the then-army chief who took power in a 1999 coup, he claimed.
