Nuclear assets of Pakistan secure, says US expert

WASHINGTON: A leading expert has said that Pakistan’s nuclear assets and its weapons are “fundamentally safe today”.

In a written testimony submitted for a congressional hearing this week, Ashkey Tellis of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said that as compared to the 1980s and 1990s when Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal was still relatively vulnerable to a variety of external and internal threats, “the security of these assets has improved dramatically as a result of the protective measures put in place since the late 1990s”.

He said, “The director general of Pakistan’s Strategic Plans Division, Lt Gen Khalid Kidwai deserves singular credit for remedying the security vulnerabilities that traditionally plagued Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.” khalid hasan
