Cabinet Recommends Pardon for A Q Khan: ISLAMABAD, 05 Feb: Cabinet recommended today that disgraced nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, blamed for leaking sensitive weapons secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea, should be pardoned, state television reported. A brief announcement on Pakistan Television said that the cabinet had decided to make the recommendation to President Pervez Musharraf. The scientist issued a stunning personal confession on Wednesday, which also absolved the government from any involvement in one of the largest nuclear proliferation scandals in history. Few believe that Khan, the founder of Pakistan's atomic bomb, could have acted alone, but a deal appears to have been brokered to spare the powerful military embarrassing scrutiny over any role it may have had in the leaks.
