Nuclear weapons can not fall in hands of Talibans: Zaradri
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari Monday said there was no possibility of countryâs nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban and believed that al?Qaeda chief Osama bin laden was dead. President Zardari told a panel of journalists from international media here at the President House.
âI want to assure the world that the nuclear capability of Pakistan is under safe hands,â
The President was responding to questions about reports of Talibanâs presence in Buner and fears that they might move advance towards the capital Islamabad.
President Zardari allaying the fears of any threat to the security of Pakistanâs nuclear weapons, said Pakistan had a strong command and control system for its nuclear weapons that was fully in place.
Asked about reports that Taliban in the Swat valley have welcomed bin Laden, President Zardari said countryâs intelligence believes that Al?Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was dead but acknowledged they had no evidence. âThe Americans tell me they donât know, and they are much more equipped than us to trace him. And our own intelligence services obviously think that he does not exist any more, that he is dead,â Zardari said.

east pakistan was,alas, in safe hands,too.
Action not words – that is what is required Mr. Zardari. People will beleive that only if you demonstrate that you have the control over all parts of Pakistan. Unfortunately, at present it is not true.
