Pakistan: IAEA cannot meet nuclear scientists

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Oct 2, IRNA -- Pakistan has said that the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) cannot be allowed to meet or interview 
its nuclear scientists. 
A Foreign Office statement made the assertion while reacting to 
IAEA`s announcement that Islamabad had denied it permission to 
interview the father of the Pakistani nuclear program, Dr. Abdul 
Qadeer Khan. 
The statement, published by The News and other newspapers, said 
that Pakistan had extended cooperation to the IAEA and would continue 
to do that. However, access to a Pakistani scientist was not 
possible, it added. 
Dr. Khan has admitted to having links with nuclear proliferation 
abroad. 
It also said that Islamabad will continue cooperation with the 
international community`s efforts to wipe out the nuclear black 
market.
