A civil war in Pakistan is a frightening possibility. The place is a powderkeg. What if some crazies take advantage of the chaos and launch a nuclear attack against Israel or India?

I have a feeling that's been a potential problem that has already been dealt with.

Nevertheless, a civil war, or a coup by the Taliban/al-Qaeda supporters would still be a disaster.

Exactly. And you don't even need "some crazies": the place if full of AQ-connected people; many are in ISI. A nuclear attack as you describe is consistent with AQ strategy of trying to start a large scale war.
