...interview.) A former Musharraf aide says Khan's megaton ego--almost as much as U.S. charges that he ran a nuclear bazaar--persuaded Musharraf to force him into retirement. But Pakistani investigators remain leery of squeezing the national hero too tightly. Khan is a public icon, his hawkish face known to every schoolchild. Arresting him could trigger dangerous protest among Islamist extremists and senior military officers who feel Musharraf has already gone too far in appeasing the White House.

But IAEA investigations have found evidence of secret uranium enrichment facilities, and the UN nuclear watchdog had put Iran on notice to sign an agreement accepting more intrusive inspections by October 31, or else.
