Staff and agencies
Wednesday October 24, 2001

The former head of Pakistan's nuclear research
programme, who is also an outspoken supporter of
Islamic radicals, has been arrested in Pakistan and
placed in "protective custody", the government said
today.

Sultan Bashiru-Din Mehmood was arrested yesterday
by Pakistani intelligence officials in the eastern city of
Lahore.

"We don't know on what charges," his son Asim
Mehmood said..................................

He was a known supporter of Afghanistan's Taliban
regime and had links to other hardline Islamic groups
in Pakistan.

Mehmood addressed a gathering of intellectuals last
week, calling for a halt to the US bombing and
negotiations with the Taliban.
