But soon afterward, several workers at Drake called local station WCPO-TV to say there had been an unusually high number of unexplained deaths on the wards where Harvey had worked. The station's investigative report on the subject in June prompted a grand jury probe.

A federal grand jury has since indicted both Pervez and a resident of the Pakistani city of Lahore, retired Brigadier Inam ul-Haq, for conspiring to illegally export strategic materials. U.S. investigators suspect that the Pakistani government is behind the illicit scheme, a charge that Foreign Minister Yaqub Khan denied last week...
