Pakistan on Monday rejected a report in a US newspaper about the renowned Pakistani nuclear scientist and Iran nuclear development.

The Washington Post claimed that Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan states, in the documents obtained by the daily, that Pakistan gave Iran bomb-related drawings, parts for centrifuges to purify uranium and a secret worldwide list of suppliers, in lieu of weapons.

"It is yet another repackaging of fiction, which surface occasionally for purposes that are self-evident," said Abdul Basit, Pakistani Foreign Office spokesman.

A.Q Khan is a closed chapter, the spokesman said, adding that Pakistan's non-proliferation credentials are second to none and its export controls are foolproof.
