| Pakistan has operationalized very effective nuclear security regime - CJCSC |

ISLAMABAD, Nov 9 (KUNA) -- A Pakistani military commander Monday rejected
an American journalist's article about the country's nuclear arsenal and said
that they have "operationalized a very effective nuclear security regime."
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), General Tariq Majid, in a
press statement rejected the article by Seymour M. Hersh, published in "The
New Yorker" and terming it as absurd and plain mischievous.
In his latest article, Hersh has described two possibilities for a possible
nuclear crisis in Pakistan: the Taliban and Al Qaeda militants seize the
government and the weapons or a coup by rogue and extremist elements within
the army.
He claims that his own investigations show that the Obama administration
"has been negotiating highly sensitive understandings with the Pakistani
military that would allow specially trained American units to provide added
security for the Pakistani arsenal in case of a crisis."
Commenting on the report, the CJCSC said that "we have operationalised a
very effective nuclear security regime, which incorporates very stringent
custodial and access controls.
"As overall custodian of the development of our strategic programme," he
said, "I reiterate in very unambiguous terms that there is absolutely no
question of sharing or allowing any foreign individual, entity or a state, any
access to sensitive information about our nuclear assets."
"Our engagement with other countries through IAEA or bilaterally to learn
more about the international best practices for security of such assets are
based on two clearly spelt out Red Lines - 'non intrusiveness' and 'our right
to pick and choose'," he said.
Also, added the CJCSC, "our security apparatus has the capacity and is
fully geared to meet all conceivable challenges, therefore, we do not need to
negotiate with any other country to physically augment our security forces,
which in any case, we believe, are more capable than their forces." (end)
