Pakistan moving nukes in low security transports on congested roads

That's just freaking brilliant.

Pakistan's nuclear weapons vulnerable to theft: report

Pakistan has begun moving its nuclear weapons in low-security vans on congested roads to hide them from US spy agencies, making the weapons more vulnerable to theft by Islamist militants, two US magazines reported Friday. the head of the Strategic Plans Divisions (SPD), which is charged with safeguarding Pakistan's atomic weapons, was ordered to take action to keep the location of nuclear weapons and components hidden from the United States, the report said.

Khalid Kidwai, the retired general who leads the SPD, expanded his agency's efforts to disperse components and sensitive materials to different facilities, it said.

But instead of transporting the nuclear parts in armored, well-defended convoys, the atomic bombs "capable of destroying entire cities are transported in delivery vans on congested and dangerous roads," according to the report.

I mean come on. This is crazy... how do we know one nuke is not already missing?

Just watched them talking about this on Anderson Cooper 360 and they flashed up a sketch of a UV with a case in the back with a nuke symbol on it.

Reminded me of those sketches we got of Bin Laden's cave network in the Tora Bora mountains .... which of course we found out later never existed.

It's all fear mongering BS

Its so that when "terrorists" nuke nyc we can blame pakistan and go to war with them...

And halfway through that war, we'll "miraculously" discorved the uranium from the nyc bomb came from china, and we'll go to war with them too

(If all that holds true, im a freekin genious lol )

lol, now they can say some went missing and are either in rouge hands so we must now invade to secure stockpiles or as already stated to nuke a city and blame .pk ..... either way the sheeple will buy it.

Thats a very informative article

The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) has for years trained for a potential "disablement campaign" that its forces would lead and that would require entering more than a dozen nuclear sites and seizing or defusing atomic weapons, it said.

The operation would use sensitive radiological detection devices that can pick up trace amounts of atomic material and JSOC has even built mock Pashtun villages with hidden mock nuclear-storage depots at a site on the East Coast to train elite Navy SEAL and Delta Force commandos, the report said.

Although Pakistan has suggested it might shift towards China and forsake its ties to Washington, Chinese officials have reached an understanding in secret talks with US representatives that Beijing would raise no objections if the United States opted to secure Pakistan's nuclear weapons, said the report, citing unnamed US sources.

that sounds risky? I hope it outweighs the risks of leaving them there. The worst part is sooner or later these things have to go away, they are inherently too dangerous. I almost read the above conclusion to the article as the Military thinks right now would be a good opportunity.

The information is from a joint report citing unnamed sources by the Atlantic and the National Journal
