CHENNAI: The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates told the United States in 2005 to either cross out the name of Abdul Qadeer Khan's daughter from a list of people whose assets were blocked for their suspected involvement in suspected acts of nuclear proliferation, or provide the bank with legal indemnity for freezing her account.
Dina Khan was among those whose accounts were frozen after her father's 2004 television confession that he had sold Pakistan's nuclear secrets abroad.
The UAE blocked Ms. Khan's Dubai bank account soon after the UN Security Council adopted the anti-proliferation resolution 1540. But, as a diplomatic cable dated September 28, 2005 ( 41524: secret/no forn), accessed by TheHindu through WikiLeaks, shows, the Central Bank developed cold feet when Ms. Khan threatened to sue it for blocking the account and for “physical and emotional damages.”
For once, US face a match!
