ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Disgraced Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan says a court has granted him more freedom after years of de facto house arrest.

Khan told reporters outside his home on Friday that government officials had reviewed his case with the Islamabad High Court and that there had been a "good judgment."

Khan added that he could "move around."

However, government prosecutor Amjad Iqbal Qureshi said "security measures" for Khan would remain in place, suggesting some restrictions would remain.

Khan has been mostly confined to his Islamabad home since 2004, when he took sole responsibility for leaking nuclear secrets to countries including Iran and Libya.
