US intelligence agency’s report called “black budget” has painted a grim picture of security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapon and expressed fears of them falling in the hands of extremists thereby increasing the threat of destabilization of peace in the entire region. The US intelligence agencies have been closely monitoring Pak’s regular upgrading of nuclear technology and nuclear strike power especially against its neighbor India for which she might find a pretext to initiate nuclear exchange. US intelligence agencies are concerned that the extremists have clandestinely dented into Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal complex, and they are capable of using it at their free will.
Yet one more concern for the US intelligence chapters is that they suspect Pakistan is engaged in chemical and biological weapon manufacturing, which the Islamists can lay their hands upon. The intelligence community is not very sure whether Pakistan has the industry to manufacture chemical and biological weapon regimes but there are indications that would support the suspicion to that end. The report says that of all the countries it is Pakistan on which the US has concentrated her attention and the intelligence agencies are strictly monitoring the movement of elements that could reinforce the premise of dangerous weapons falling into the hands of the jihadis. The Report says that Pakistan has been reputed for supplying nuclear technology to the countries that are inimical towards the US. There is nexus of sort between Pakistan and China and the latter has contributed to development of nuclear technology of Pakistan. All this development is gradually increasing the concern of the US and the policy planners in the Pentagon are discussing how to thwart the danger posed to the peace loving world. At least they are convinced that Pakistan remains the epicenter of world terrorism and that makes it the most dangerous country.
India have long been warning the world community of the rising terrorist power of Islamists in Pakistan and Pakistan Government’s inability of controlling them. It is now common knowledge that the radical Islamists having all the sympathy and support from the Pakistan Army have already made dent in the bastion of Pakistan’s defence forces. The fundamentalist organizations like LeT and JM have already been recognized by Pak Army as its vanguard in a situation of war with Pakistan’s enemies. The LeT has openly and at various occasions declared their support to terrorist organisations functioning in India. Therefore though US may have still doubts about the status of Pakistani jihadi organizations’ relations with the Army, we have none. Therefore passing of nuclear or chemical weapons into the hands of jihadis will not be a matter of chance but by design. Whenever Pakistani Army feels time is opportune it will offer all sorts of weapons into the hands of the jihadis.
Apart from this, the Report has meticulously circumvented the crucial point in this debate. Past and present history tells us that both US and UK have helped Pakistan become a terrorist state neck and crop. No other Islamic country in the world has received so much aid in cash and kind and so much of military war machine as Pakistan has. While the US intelligence has been regularly pouring in details of Pakistan’s dangerous nuclear programme, the US administration under all Presidents has been sanctioning billions of dollars by way of aid for her. And Pakistan has been diverting these funds for purchase of arms to be used either against India or against the nationalist forces within Pakistan demanding democratization of Pakistan. While elected civilian governments have been ousted by the Army, the US, UK and European powers have been pouring funds lavishly into the coffers of the Army rulers of Pakistan. Washington knew very well that China was providing nuclear know-how to Pakistan but did not bat an eyelid. Rather it provided enormous funds and war machine to the Generals. It is known to all that CIA and ISI have been working hand in glove in the creation of Taliban. Why should the Washington now raise hue and cry about Pakistan’s jihadis aspiring for nuclear or chemical weapons. It is they who created them and now they are up against their own Frankenstein.
