ISLAMABAD — A Pakistani court on Friday ordered the government to lift any remaining restrictions on a scientist alleged to have spread nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya, his lawyer said.
The instruction on scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan could stir alarm in the U.S., which still regards him as a proliferation risk.
Khan was detained in December 2003 and admitted on television in 2004 sole responsibility for operating a network that spread nuclear weapons technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya. He was pardoned by then-President Pervez Musharraf but was placed under de facto house arrest.
