Musharraf pardons disgraced nuclear scientist
ISLAMABAD (AFP) Feb 05, 2004
 Pakistan's president said Thursday he had pardoned the founder of the country's nuclear programme, who has confessed to leaking nuclear secrets abroad.

"I give him pardon," President Pervez Musharraf told a news conference, a day after Abdul Qadeer Khan's dramatic televised confession.

Khan admitted leaking secrets and begged for forgiveness following a lengthy investigation into the alleged transfer of nuclear techology to Iran, Libya and North Korea.
