Senior Pak N-scientist in good health: Foreign Office

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Feb 16, IRNA - Pakistan`s top nuclear scientist, Dr. 
Abdul Qadeer Khan is in good health and suffering no cardiac 
disease, Foreign Office Spokesman Masood Khan said here Monday. 
According to a leading Pakistani newspaper, Dr. Khan has been 
suffering from a cardiac disease and was treated at his residence 
last week. 
The medical team of KRL Hospital has been appointed to treat 
Dr. A.Q. Khan at his house where father of Pakistan`s nuclear 
program has been detained in the name of "protective custody", 
the reports suggested. 
"The report suggesting that Dr. Khan suffering from cardiac 
disease is wrong and baseless," said the Spokesman of Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Masood Khan. 
Dr. Khan is in "very good" health condition, he added. 
A cardiac machine and a team of cardiologists have been treating 
Dr. Khan at his residence in Islamabad for many days, a report 
suggested here Monday. 
Dr. Khan who had no cardiac related disease history in the past, 
was suffering a pain in his left arm since he was questioned by 
Pakistani intelligence authorities on the proliferation issue, the 
report suggested. 
Khan, who served for years as an autonomous administrator of 
Kahuta Research Laboratories - named after him - was removed 
from the laboratories by President General Pervez Musharraf in 2002 
and was appointed adviser to the prime minister of pakistan on 
science and technology. 
When Khan was questioned on proliferation, the government issued 
a notification while sacking him from his position as the adviser.
