Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairwoman Benazir Bhutto said here on Tuesday that if she became prime minister, she would allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to interview Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, a move that the Musharraf government has resisted all along.She said after her address at the Middle East Institute here that it would need to be determined if Dr Khan was solely responsible for what he had confessed to, or if there were “others” involved, an allusion to the Pakistan Army.
She said Dr Khan had confessed that he had violated Pakistan’s commitment to the international community. “He fell on his sword,” she added. Her party, she promised, would hold a parliamentary hearing on the issue when in power.
