The authorities are detaining a director of the Kahuta Research Laboratories for questioning on suspicion of a role in Iran’s nuclear programme, Daily Times has learnt. Family friends said the director, Farooq Muhammad, had not been on duty since December 1. When asked to confirm the report, Foreign Office Director Azhar Elahi told Daily Times: “The people attached with sensitive programmes are governed by a stringent personnel dependability and debriefing programme. This is normal practice, especially in nuclear-weapons states. These people are aware of their responsibility in terms of the efficiency and conduct. Under the programme, individuals may have to undergo debriefing sessions.” When pressed to confirm whether or not Mr Muhammad had been detained, Mr Elahi said,” He has been detained for checking out certain facts.” It may be remembered that Bashiruddin Mehmood, another nuclear scientists, was arrested and grilled for several months by intelligence officials for alleged links with Osama bin Laden and remains under a sort of house arrest. And now this- Has the whole nation becxome a CIA agent- it would not have been a crime to help Iran befor 911.
