Militants likely to takeover Paks nukes:UK daily

A UK English daily has claimed that the possibility of militants getting their hands on Pakistans nukes has risen, adding that the US army is training a crack unit to seal off and snatch back Pakistani nuclear weapons in the above said case. The Times reported former CIA Chief Rolph Larssen as saying that the move followed growing anti-Americanism in Pakistans military, a series of attacks on sensitive installations over the past two years, several of which housed nuclear facilities, and rising tension that has seen a series of official complaints by US authorities to Islamabad in the past fortnight.What you have in Pakistan is nuclear weapons mixed with the highest density of extremists in the world, so we have a right to be concerned, said Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, a former CIA officer who used to run the US energy departments intelligence unit. The terrorists are at the gates, he warned.In a counterterrorism journal, published by Americas West Point military academy, he documented three incidents.The first was an attack in November 2007 at Sargodha in Punjab, where nuclear capable F-16 jet aircraft are thought to be stationed. The following month a suicide bomber struck at Pakistans nuclear airbase at Kamra in Attock district. In August 2008 a group of suicide bombers blew up the gates to a weapons complex at the Wah cantonment in Punjab, believed to be one of Pakistans nuclear warhead assembly plants. According to the Daily Pakistan termed US as more dangerous for its nukes then the militants.Meanwhile, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit, while talking to Dunya News, dismissed the report terming it as a conspiracy theory, saying that Pakistan nukes are safe and neither militants nor any other group was capable enough to take over the atomic assets.
