Pak nukes secure but vulnerable to militant attack
 Pakistan has robust measures in place to assure the security of its nuclear weapons, the Pakistan Security Research Unit (PSRU) based in the University of Bradford, UK, has said in a publication titled The Security of Nuclear Pakistan. However, it warns that Pakistans nuclear infrastructure is at increasing risk of attack by tribal and militant elements.The paper by professor Shaun Gregory holds that despite weaknesses, which are being exacerbated by the present political turmoil in the country, Pakistan has technical, personnel reliability, physical security and secrecy deception measures in place to protect its nuclear assets. But, it goes on to outline the growing risk of Pakistans nuclear weapons safety being compromised. Posted by: Fred 2007-11-22 |
