WASHINGTON: Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are secure, the top US military chief Admiral Michael Mullen said Monday, ruling out that they could fall into the hands of Taliban militants.

“I remain comfortable that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan are secure,” Mullen, the US joint chiefs of staff, told reporters.

Asked whether the arms could fall into the hands of Taliban militants seeking to broaden their control of Pakistan, he replied: “I don’t think that’s going to happen … but it is a strategic concern that we all share.”

His comments echoed those of President Barack Obama, who last week also offered assurances about Pakistan’s nuclear arms.

But according to the New York Times on Monday, the US government is increasingly concerned about the potential vulnerability of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal faced with a surge of Islamic militant activity.

Citing unnamed officials, the newspaper said the Obama administration was worried about the potential for militants to snatch a weapon in transport or to insert sympathizers into laboratories or fuel-production facilities.
