Last month, long after the schedule for Armacost's visit was completed, Arshad Pervez, a Pakistani native who holds Canadian citizenship, was arrested in Philadelphia and charged with trying to export to Pakistan 25 tons of a special steel alloy used in the enrichment of uranium for nuclear weapons.

After a 20-month undercover investigation, federal officials in Philadelphia arrested Arshad Pervez, a Canadian of Pakistani origin, on charges of attempting to export the alloy. The apparent destination was Pakistan, which has repeatedly denied charges that its nuclear facility at Kahuta is intended to produce weapons.
