Pakistani nuclear scientist A Q Khan mum on veracity of letter sparking N-row(24 Sep 2009)

Disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist A Q Khan has declined to comment on the veracity of a letter he allegedly wrote to his Dutch wife five years ago and whose contents have stirred a fresh controversy about his role in nuclear proliferation.

Excerpts from the letter were recently published by the 'Sunday Times' of London. "I cannot comment on the report of 'Sunday Times' because I have so far not gone through it," Khan said.

"As the matter of my alleged involvement in nuclear proliferation is sub-judice, I cannot comment on the new media report," he told the 'Dawn' newspaper.

Revelations made in the letter prompted an immediate reaction from the US, which said that Khan was still a "risk for proliferation".

According to the 'Sunday Times', a copy of the four-page letter was also recovered from Khan's daughter by Dutch intelligence agents in 2004. It claimed that neither the letters recovery nor its contents were reported in the past.

Khan was also reluctant to confirm or deny the contents of the letter.

"I have become tired of clarifying my position, but I know that this is an unending controversy," he said.

Why is Khan quiet?

There are three theories surrounding Khan's silence over his leaked letters. For one, Khan doesn't want the focus to be back on him considering that he has already been let-off by the Pakistan government.

The other theory is that Khan doesn't want to antagonize or embarrass the Pakistani establishment.

Most importantly, the US could seek Khan's extradition if he acknowledges that he wrote the damning letter.
