NEW YORK: President Asif Ali Zardari has sought to assure the United States that Abdul Qadeer Khan, renowned nuclear scientist whom Islamabad High Court (IHC) released Friday from house arrest, is still restricted in his movement and activities, The New York Times reported Sunday.
Citing a Pakistani official, the newspaper said Dr. Khan would be barred from foreign travel, monitored closely, allowed to receive visitors only from an approved list of family and friends, and barred from making financial transactions.
An Obama administration official said that the White House appreciated the efforts of the Pakistani government but remained “exceedingly concerned” about Dr. Khan, and that it was unclear whether the new restrictions would be sufficient. |
