Nine Pak scientists absconding: Press Trust of India
Report

PTI[ SATURDAY, JANUARY 04, 2003 04:50:13 PM ]
 
NEW DELHI: Amid fears of Pakistan's nuclear weapons
falling into wrong hands, at least nine Pakistani
nuclear scientists have secretly absconded from the
country.

The latest defection has taken place as late as in
July 2002, US-based online 'South Asia Tribune'
quoting documents from Pakistani nuclear power plant
CHASNUPP said.

Eight of the nine absconders were senior engineers and
one was an assistant engineer, said the weekly run by
Shaheen Shebai, who feld Pakistan fearing danger to
his life for opposing the military regime of Pervez
Musharraf.

Four of the absconding engineers belonged to the
operations division of the power plant, two to the
mechincal maintenance division and one each to the
electrical, technical and training divisions, it said.

While six disappeared between February and October
2000, two absconded in 2002 and one in 1997.

According to the weekly, the document speculated that
these engineers went to the US, Canada or Australia
but in fact they could have gone to any country as
they had left without permission. 

The weekly pointed out that the situation for the rest
of the world was scary as Pakistan could easily become
the feeding ground for nuclear activities. 

"The scientists of CHASNUPP have sounded the warning
bell for the Pakistani authorities. They have to look
after this sensitive resource and not push it to the
edge. Otherwise it could mean disaster for the
country," a retired nuclear scientist was quoted by
the weekly.
