Pakistan nuclear proliferation case 'closed'
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry insisted Saturday that its nuclear proliferation case was closed, a day after the disgraced architect of its atomic program claimed the army under President Pervez Musharraf helped spread the technology.
Abdul Qadeer Khan told The Associated Press on Friday that Pakistan's army supervised a 2000 shipment of used P-1 centrifuges to North Korea. It must have been sent with the approval of Musharraf, the then-army chief who took power in a 1999 coup, Khan alleged.
'It was a North Korean plane, and the army had complete knowledge about it and the equipment,' Khan said. 'It must have gone with his (Musharraf's) consent.'

In the videotape presented Friday at Colombia's military headquarters, the hostages' hands are bound with plastic for what they believe is a flight to another rebel camp. Among those filmed is a very angry-looking Ingrid Betancourt.
