US 'confident' in Pakistan nuke security
By AFP
Published: November 10, 2011
WASHINGTON: The United States believes that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are in safe hands, a State Department spokesman said on Wednesday, rebutting an earlier report that Islamabad’s deadly atomic arsenal was vulnerable to theft.
Two US publications, The Atlantic and the National Journal, citing unnamed sources, last week said Pakistan had transported nuclear weapons in low-security vans on congested roads to hide them from US spy agencies.

State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters in Washington that the United States was not persuaded that safety had been compromised.
“We have confidence that the government of Pakistan is well aware of the range of potential threats to its nuclear arsenal and is accordingly giving very high priority to securing its nuclear weapons and materials effectively,” Toner told reporters.
“We continue to have confidence… that they’re taking appropriate steps,” he said.
Pakistan at the weekend rejected as “pure fiction” the report’s assertion that transporting the weapons in such a manner had made them more susceptible to theft by Islamist militants.

Oo Khote de putaar amreeka..Insaan bano loota na banoo..roz aik naye baat!

They tried a trick with their mass deception networks they called "free Media" and it failed so its time to play the good cop once again! They should be far more concerned about India where institutionalized corrupt and selfish culture promotes bribery for selling state property!
 
I guess what they mean is..

"We're not gonna attack and take your nukes by force so you can keep them secured rather than transporting nukes in a van fearing that we would attack and take them away from you."

They are trying to call it safe and rule out any attack so that Pakistan doesn't transport them in van.

we dont need any certificate from US for our nuclear weapons security
 
O God, y indians have no other work to do ? is it due to unemployment or some other reasons ? they dont have any other thing to do except poking :p:hitwall:
 
We didn't need their confirmation; they should confirm their own nuke security first. Pakistan as responsible atomic power knows its duties.
