ISLAMABAD, Jan 7: Pakistan on Wednesday denied a US newspaper report that some of its scientists may have provided Libya with technology to enrich uranium for use in its nuclear weapons.

"The report is groundless," Information Minister Sheikh Rashid told AFP, in response to Tuesday's New York Times report. Mr Rashid said Pakistan was a responsible nuclear power and had a foolproof export control regime in line with its non- proliferation obligations.

He said Pakistan had already started a process to investigate allegations some scientists may have indulged in passing on sensitive technology to Iran in their individual capacity.-AFP
