ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN (AP) -- It's a sign of how seriously Pakistan is treating the charges that it's allowed its nuclear weapons technology to spread to Iran and Libya.
A senior Pakistani official says Pakistan sent its own investigative teams to those two countries in recent months.
And the official says those visits then led to Pakistan's questioning of some of its top nuclear scientists.
The official tells The Associated Press the interrogations also resulted from evidence that was given to Pakistan by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The U.S. is pressuring Pakistan to stop the spread of technology that can be used to make atomic weapons.
Pakistan denies that it authorized the sale of any of that technology. But officials say scientists may have done so on their own.
