Pakistani atomic scientist died after being transferred to the hospital with lung problems.
Abdul Qadeer Khan, revered as the father of Pakistan’s nuclear programme, has died at 85.
The Pakistani atomic scientist, hailed as a national hero for making his country the world’s first Islamic nuclear power but regarded by the West as a dangerous renegade responsible for smuggling technology to rogue states, was transferred to hospital with lung problems, state-run PTV said.
Khan had been admitted to the same hospital in August after contracting the coronavirus.
