More Arrests Made in Nuclear Arms Inquiry

SOUTH AFRICA

Two more men were arrested in South Africa in a widening investigation into trafficking of nuclear-arms-related equipment, police said.

Lawyers said Daniel Geiges, 65, and Gerhard Wisser, 66, would plead not guilty. Similar charges were dropped Wednesday against Johan Meyer, head of an engineering company.

Officials said Meyer's arrest was part of international investigations into the network of Abdul Qadeer Khan, the founder of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program, who admitted passing technology to other countries.
