US 'nightmare': Will Pakistan chaos let al Qaeda get nukes? - NewsCloud.com: "The threat becomes even more dire when one considers what would happen to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal if the country becomes further destabilized. Estimates of Pakistan's weapons cache range from 24 to 48 nuclear warheads and some say there could be as many as 100 nukes in the country. ABC News correspondent Jim Sciutto reports that officials believe there is a 'very real' possibility that those weapons could fall into the wrong hands."
The Daily Mail - Daily News from Pakistan - Newspaper from Pakistan: "Fred Thompson, a leading Republican candidate, worried about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, said he would use huge US economic aid to the Islamabad government as a lever to prod Musharraf back to democracy. “We could face a real nightmare scenario by seeing these radical elements, or these terrorist sympathizers, take control of that government and have that nuclear capability,” Thompson said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. Republican Senator John McCain said in Iowa at the weekend he was troubled over the imposition of a state of emergency, highlighted the nuclear side of the equation and worried Islamist forces could oust Musharraf. “If they gain control, we are going to have big problems in Afghanistan and the area,” the Des Moines Register quoted him as saying. It was not the first time Pakistan was thrust into the campaign. In August, Democrat Barack Obama angered Islamabad when he said, if elected, he would order US forces to strike Al-Qaeda inside lawless Pakistani tribal areas near the Afghan border, if Musharraf failed to act. Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told at the time that “these are serious matters and should not be used for point-scoring.—Agencies"
