Abdul Qadeer Khan, the man known as the father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, has died in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, according to the country's Ministry of Information. He was 85 years old.
Khan will be given a state funeral at Islamabad's Faisal Mosque on Sunday, according to Pakistan's interior minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad.
While Khan was hailed as a national hero in Pakistan for helping make the country a nuclear-armed state, he was viewed by many in the West as a villain.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
