Paki's Nuke expert still a risk.

AQ Khan should beware of Taliban!

A two-member panel of the Lahore High Court has issued an interim ruling following an appeal from the Pakistan government in favour of retaining the security protocol of Pakistan’s nuclear scientist, Dr AQ Khan. The court will now hear the government petition in detail on the 15th of September. Another Lahore High Court judge had issued another interim order lifting all restrictions on Khan’s movement.

Clearly, the government is bothered about Dr Khan’s security and wants to be heard on the point. The case still had to be argued but it was the “interim” restoration of freedom of movement that could prove dangerous, given Pakistan’s general level of security. Thousands of road-barriers in the country clearly indicate that freedom of movement of the entire nation is somehow curtailed.

The “security protocol” came with an Islamabad High Court decision in February declaring Dr Khan a “free citizen”. Dr Khan could not stand the restrictions contained in the “protocol” and now wants to be free of it. There was public sympathy with his petition because it implied defiance of the United States that wants to interrogate him and doesn’t want him in circulation. But Dr Khan’s security problems are in fact more complex.

Dr Khan is a prime target for the Taliban who kidnap important people for ransom. If he gets “lifted”, his price will be very high, higher than any the Taliban have received for diplomats and film directors so far. And the ransom will be demanded not only from Pakistan but from the US as well! And he will go to the highest bidder. Even in normal circumstances, Dr Khan would be a very attractive victim, but given Islamabad’s security, he is under more threat than any other person living in the country. Both the media and Dr Khan should pause to consider this point dispassionately.
