ISLAMABAD, Oct 30 (PTI): Pakistan has handed over three retired nuclear scientists accused of having links with terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden to United States authorities for investigations, media reports here said today.

Among those handed over is Mr. Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood, Pakistan's retired top nuclear scientist.

Mr Mahmood, along with two of his retired colleagues - former chief engineer of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Mr. Abdul Majeed, and former PAEC scientist, Mr. Mirza Yousaf - have been handed over to a joint team of Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency officials for further investigations, the Pakistan Observer daily reported.

Meanwhile, India hoped Pakistan would not allow its nuclear arsenal to fall into 'wrong hands,' as is being widely feared by the international community in the wake of strong protests by Islamic militant groups against the military regime over its support to the United States-led campaign in Afghanistan.
