We've got a bunch of rocket scientists on the Pakistani police force:

UK officials demanded an inquiry yesterday into the escape of a British terrorism suspect in Pakistan, writes Bob Sherwood in London and Farhan Bokhari in Islamabad .

Rashid Rauf, 26, described by Pakistani authorities as a "key person" in last year's alleged plot to blow up airliners flying from London Heathrow, escaped from custody on Saturday after appearing in an Islamabad court, where his lawyers were fighting a UK extradition request.

Pakistan's security forces were searching in NorthWest Frontier Province. They fear he could cross into Afghanistan

Mr Rauf, who has dual UK-Pakistani citizenship, escaped without a shot being fired while he was surrounded by police guards. UK officials asked Pakistan for an explanation and were told an inquiry would be held.

But they're rich rocket scientists, no doubt.
