ISLAMABAD: Pakistan yesterday questioned a close aide to the father of its nuclear bomb, two nuclear scientists and five other officials over alleged leaks to Iran, as Islamist parties cried foul.
The eight, all linked to Pakistan's key uranium enrichment facility Kahuta Research Laboratories (KRL), were taken in for "debriefing sessions" at the weekend in the wake of reports from nuclear watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), officials said.
