Al Qaeda - Pakistan Insurgency creates Nuke Concern

ISLAMABAD — Senior American officials say they are increasingly concerned Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal may be at risk from a rising Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgency in the shaky nation, the New York Times reported Monday.

Officials told the Times they are worried militants could take possession of the arms during transport or by potentially infiltrating atomic laboraties or fuel-production plants, but emphasized that there was no reason to believe that the arsenal faced an imminent threat.

Maybe we should go back to fighting the "war on terrorism". This thing is quickly spiraling out of control and the Administration is letting it quickly slip out of their grasp.
