US prepares contingency plans to seize Pakistani nuclear triggers
"On November 9, the New Yorker magazine published a lengthy article by veteran correspondent Seymour Hersh dealing with the considerable nervousness in US ruling circles over the security of Pakistan’s arsenal of between 80 and 100 nuclear weapons. Hersh’s sources told him that the primary fear was not a Taliban takeover, but a mutiny by anti-American Islamist tendencies inside the Pakistani armed forces, in which they attempt to seize all or parts of the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Like many of Hersh’s exposés, the article uses information leaked by unnamed high-level sources to make public an aspect of US foreign policy causing concerns in ruling circles. In this case, the primary motive appears to be to press for greater Pakistani guarantees over its nuclear weapons and more intrusive American monitoring and involvement.
Hersh alleged that US officials have pushed over the past eight years for an “understanding” with their Pakistani counterparts that American forces can enter Pakistan to secure its nuclear arsenal in the event of a direct threat. According to Hersh’s sources, a special unit drawn from several agencies is on four hours’ notice to deploy to Pakistan from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The objective would be to seize the triggers that are needed to arm the weapons, and fly the devices out of the country. Pakistan reportedly keeps its warheads and nuclear triggers at separate locations.
A deployment nearly took place mid-year, Hersh was told, following an alert that a Pakistani “nuclear component had gone astray”. The special American unit had arrived in Dubai before the reports were deemed to be a false alarm and the mission called off."
But you know how to tell our overseers' true intentions. Just believe exactly the opposite of what they say.
"Hersh’s article provoked a barrage of denials, especially in Pakistan. The Pakistani foreign ministry denounced the claims as “preposterous”. The military labeled them “absurd”. The US State Department added that the US has “no intention of seizing Pakistani nuclear weapons or material” and stated its “confidence in the ability of the Pakistani government to provide adequate security”.
Pakistan nukes safe from terror attacks, says US
No intention of seizing Pak nuclear weapons: US
