U.S. Objects to Pakistan Freeing Nuke Salesman A.Q. Khan
[Washington Post] Karen DeYoung - Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan was released Friday from five years of house arrest for selling nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea. Officials said the Pakistani Interior Ministry will limit and monitor Khan's telephone calls, visitors and activities. However, U.S. officials sharply objected to Khan's release. Khan, 72, is revered in Pakistan as the father of the country's nuclear weapons program.
