Battle to seize control of nuk

Snippets: Secret plans have been drawn up to remove more than 100 nuclear weapons from Pakistan to stop them falling into the hands of Islamic extremists.

CIA chiefs fear that by 2015 the Taliban could be running the country, giving its radical leaders control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.

M J Gohel of the London- based think tank Asia-Pacific Foundation, said: “It’s only a matter of time before Al Qaeda or somebody sympathetic to them gets hold of nuclear weapons. Pakistan is the weakest link in the chain. It is the most unstable nuclear country in the world.”

Pakistan’s missiles would be unable to reach the US or UK and its American F-16 bombers would be detected before reaching any Western country.

Much more likely is nuclear material being used in a dirty bomb, that could be detonated in major cities such as London, Washington and New York.

Of course, the nukes could already have been moved and we would never know.
Pure speculation, of course.

Interesting article, thank you Mama Dearest.
