Disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is
suffering from cancer, has been discharged from hospital after
recovering from fever and infection, a state-run news agency said on
Sunday. Khan, revered by many in Pakistan as the father of its atomic
bomb, has been held under house arrest in the capital, Islamabad, since
an investigation was launched against him in 2003. Shortly after that he
made a televised confession to smuggling nuclear technology to Libya,
North Korea and Iran. |
