(2004-02-16) -- As the father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program recovered from a heart attack today, President Pervez Musharraf revealed that the revered scientist had already sold a defibrillator and a cardiac monitor to the government of North Korea.
Abdul Qadeer Khan, who in recent weeks apologized to Pakistanis for running a black-market nuclear weapons proliferation network, suffered a cardiac arrest today as a result of the stress of being pardoned by President Musharraf rather than jailed as a traitor and terrorist.
"When I brought some flowers to A.Q. Khan today," said Gen. Musharraf, "I noticed that some of the government-provided medical equipment was missing from his room. He confessed that he had sold it to Kim Jong Il, and was very sorry. I immediately forgave him."
