Washington : The Pentagon has expressed confidence in the security of Pakistani and Indian nuclear weapons in the wake of renewed regional tensions since Mumbai terrorist incident.
“We see no reason at this point to have any concern with regards to the security of either country’s arsenal. So I think that’s sort of where we are at this point,” Press Secretary at the Department of Defense said in response to a question.
Geoff Morrell said the US military leadership has been in contact with militaries in both South Asian countries. He said the U.S. is ready to help to keep the situation as calm as possible in the wake of late last month incident.
“It is clear, based upon the fact you saw the chairman travel to both India and Pakistan last week that we take this problem very seriously and are in close coordination, discussion, consultation with the militaries in India and Pakistan”.
