Washington: Describing Pakistan as "the intersection of nuclear weapons and terrorism", a top U.S. Congressional panel has warned that the next terror attack on America is likely to originate in its ally's tribal areas.
While observing that Pakistan is a U.S. ally, the commission on weapon of mass destruction (WMD) and terrorism said "the next terrorist attack against the United States is likely to originate from within the Federally Administered Tribal Areas" in Pakistan.
The U.S. says the tribal areas in northwest Pakistan, where the government exerts little control, are a haven for militants from both Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan.
The commission also expressed particular concern about the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea, and about Pakistan, which it described as "the intersection of nuclear weapons and terrorism."
It warned that there is a threat of nuclear terrorism, both because more countries are developing nuclear weapons and because some existing nuclear powers are expanding their arsenals.
"Terrorist organizations are intent on acquiring nuclear weapons," said the report, which was published Tuesday on the internet and will be officially released Wednesday.

False flag really wasn't needed... India has been calling Pakistan a rogue state for the last few decades. Its not like India was going to stand up in the UN and protest against a US invasion of Pakistan... They are mortal enemies after all.
A false flag in China would have made more sense.
In my opinion:
Afghan War : Warranted, but could have been limited to search and destroy ops against the Taliban and Bin Laden.
Iraq War : Waste of time; nothing to do with terrorism. Shouldn't have occurred.
Future Pakistan War : Where the fight should have been taken instead of Iraq.
What would really help : Elimination of the Wahhabi mosques in Saudi Arabia, which are the ideological breeding grounds for Islamic extremism.
Come to think of it, if Iraq was about oil... why the hell did the USA not invade Saudi? Bin Laden is Saudi + Wahhabi mosques regularly release statements are that incredibly incendiary and extremist. It would have been easier to justify than making up some spiel about WMDs in Iraq.
