Malaysia on Wednesday welcomed a statement by a senior US official that the government was not implicated in a nuclear black market scandal, as attention turned to a shadowy Sri Lankan businessman living here.
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said the truth had prevailed after US Under secretary of State John Bolton told reporters that President George W. Bush had not meant to imply that the government was involved in shipping centrifuge parts to Libya.
Bolton said at a news conference in Beijing Monday there was "certainly no whiff of an allegation in the president's statement that the government of Malaysia had the slightest thing to do with it".
