Pakistan dismisses US daily report on Iran nuclear talks

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Feb 27, IRNA -- Pakistan on Sunday dismissed as baseless a 
report in an American daily that international investigators have 
produced evidence about an alleged secret meeting between Iranian 
officials and associates of Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, founder of 
Pakistan`s nuclear program. 
"The report is unfounded and no evidence has been produced to 
Pakistan about any meeting," Foreign Office Spokesman Masood Khan said
in a statement, the state-run PTV reported. 
A Washington Post report claimed on Sunday that in the meeting 
held in Dubai in 1987, a written offer was made to help Iran`s nuclear
program. 
"There is no new evidence in the news report," the spokesman 
added. 
Khan said that Pakistan`s investigations into the alleged 
transfer of nuclear technology are completely satisfactory and that 
the world community has also recognized the fact.
