'Musharraf A Traitor, Foreign Agent'
(RTTNews) - Pakistan's disgraced nuclear scientist Abdul Qadir Khan has called former President Pervez Musharraf a "traitor" and a "foreign agent," saying that if he comes out in the streets, the public will feed him to "crows and kites," media reports said.
Khan, who was pardoned by Musharraf and who shielded him from being interrogated by the international nuclear watchdog, IAEA, acknowledged that former premier Benazir Bhutto gave him permission to acquire "help" from China and North Korea for the country's missile program.
The 72-year-old, who had earlier accused Musharraf of forcing him to issue a confession on state-run television, had only harsh and angry words for former army chief.
"One of the traitors and foreign agents in the cloak of presidency tried to harm me but could not succeed in his goal and was expelled from the Aiwan-e-Sadr (presidential house)," Khan said.
"He himself has been disgraced fully...Now that self-styled commando cannot set foot on the streets of Pakistan for his whole life," he added.
He said that he was proud of the "services" he made to the country including providing atomic power to it.
Khan was under house arrest since 2004 after admitting to stealing nuclear technology and know-how from western nations and selling nuclear secrets to countries like North Korea and Libya. He was released after the new democratically-elected government came to power earlier this year.
