ISLAMABAD: A foreign office spokesman said on Friday that no foreigner has any access to Pakistan’s nuclear designs, and that Dr. A. Q. Khan’s case is closed. The spokesman was commenting on a news item carried by some sections of media that the nuclear bomb design in digital format, which was in the possession of the Tinners of Switzerland, was similar to Pakistani design provided by Dr. A. Q. Khan.
“This conjecture is surprising as no foreigner has any access to Pakistan’s nuclear designs,” the spokesman said in a statement.
“It is not understood how anyone could reach such a conclusion.”
The spokesman said that the entire story raised a number of questions. “If Tinners files have relevance to Dr. A.Q. Khan, then why where they destroyed? The files should have been shared with Pakistan, if they were genuine and relevant to Dr. A. Q. Khan.”
The spokesman said that Dr. A. Q. Khan’s case is closed as he does not have any official status and in no manner whatsoever he can indulge in nuclear proliferation.
“All relevant information of the case has already been shared with the IAEA and there is no new development in this context,” he added.
