Pakistan and nuclear security
Ron McBride | May 06, 2010 | Comments 0
Pakistan is a country which is responsible for many different kinds of actions in terrorism and violence around the world. Taliban was said to be once supported by Pakistan. Even the notorious Dawood-Ibrahim is known to be residing in Pakistan by some sources. Osama-bin-Laden, who is another headache to the world was said to be taking shelter in the same country and apart form this, many more such allegations have been coming up in Pakistan in the recent past.
This country at present is no doubt passing through the most delicate phase, and has become the reason for raising concerns about the future of peace in the country with its nuclear power as it is acting as a base for terrorist activities.
The fear of nuclear weapon falling into the hands of the Al-Qaeda or Taliban is the biggest fear among all the countries of the world. Pakistan cannot be trusted completely in this matter as a nuclear weapon could lead to the end of a country or area if any terrorist or extremist group gets hold of it.
It is well known that there can be Taliban sympathizers in the nuclear unit who could leak the whole process of nuclear arrangement or theft of material, illegal use of the weapon and insider-outsider teamwork can lead to mass destruction any time anywhere in the world.
Terrorists have used very simple things into great destructing materials and also used the airplanes to cause the death of thousands of people in the 9-11 New York occurrences. How can be it safe to provide acceptance to such a country for such a weapon which could finish half of the world in few seconds.
Many people are surprised at the fact that Pakistan is willing to have a nuclear weapon, where in the country a common man’s earnings are not sufficient to fulfill the needs of the family, how can such country bear the expenses and production of having a nuclear weapon.
