WASHINGTON: Pakistan is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, raising questions in the US Congress whether billions of dollars in proposed military aid to strife-torn country could be diverted to its nuclear program, The New York Times reported late Sunday.
The newspaper said members of Congress have been told about Pakistan's nuclear drive in confidential and public briefings by Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Pakistan's effort to build new nuclear weapons has been a source of growing concern in Washington, because the country is producing more nuclear material at a time when the United States is increasingly focused on trying to assure the security of Pakistan's 80 to 100 weapons so that they will never fall into the hands of Islamic insurgents, the report said.
Die sind doch auch nicht mehr ganz dicht :roll:
