Al-Qaeda: United States Questions Mohammed on Nuclear Links U.S. intelligence officials are questioning Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, captured March 1 in Pakistan, about a possible link between the al-Qaeda terrorist group and Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, Time magazine reported this week (see GSN, May 1). Mohammed — who has reportedly denied a link between Khan and al-Qaeda — was the third-highest official in al-Qaeda before his capture, according to Time. Two years ago, Pakistan removed Khan from nuclear and military posts, and he is now constantly accompanied by a security detail, Time reported. U.S. officials are concerned, however, that Khan can still disseminate nuclear information. “He moves around very freely and has everything he needs inside his head, if not his briefcase,” said a U.S. official (Burger/McGirk, Time, May 19).
