The United States is seeking Pakistan's permission for American investigators to interview up to 12 Pakistani Nuclear scientists, who are suspected of having contacts with representatives of Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

Reliable sources tell EurasiaNet that between 8 and 12 suspects had been contacted by Taliban and al Qaeda representatives, who offered lucurative incentives for the scientists to work on a "nuclear research program" inside Afghanistan.

I wonder if they will check Monsoor Ijaz, Pakistani financier and physics trained American with links to the Pakistan nuclear community. He was a major contributor to the Dem Party, and held various fundraisers for Gore. His objective was to get his nose in the Sudanese tent and play the oil game there.
