Pak nuclear Guru A Q Khan shifted back to Islamabad

Islamabad, Oct 16: Pakistan nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan has been brought back to the capital from Karachi and put under house arrest after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer.

Dr Khan had been taken to Karachi for prostate cancer surgery at the Aga Khan Hospital in the second week of September and at his own desire remained at his sister's house during pre- and post-surgery period.

He was shifted to Islamabad yesterday and put under house arrest at his E-7 residence in the federal capital.

The Dawn newspaper, however, quoted sources close to Dr Khan that his doctors at the Aga Khan Hospital were not fully satisfied with the pace of his recovery and desired that he should stay for another fortnight to avoid any post-operative complications.
