Pakistan denies helping Libya develop N-plan

IRNA

Islamabad, Jan 8, IRNA -- Pakistan has denied a US newspaper 
report, which alleged Islamabad had provided Libya with technology to 
enrich uranium for use in nuclear weapons. 
The Information Minister and Government Spokesman Sheikh Rashid 
Ahmed dubbed the US newspaper report as `groundless`, local press 
reported Thursday. 
The minister said Pakistan was a responsible nuclear power and had
a foolproof export control regime in line with its non-proliferation 
obligations. 
However, he added that Islamabad had already started a process to 
investigate allegations some scientists may have indulged in passing 
on sensitive technology to other countries.
