WASHINGTON, Nov 9 (KUNA) -- Reacting to media reports, US State Department
affirmed on Monday it has no intention to seize Pakistani nuclear weapons.
"The US has no intention of seizing Pakistani nuclear weapons or material.
We see Pakistan as a key ally in our common effort to fight violent extremists
and to foster regional stability. We are working very closely with Pakistan on
a number of important initiatives regarding regional security", said State
Department spokesperson Ian Kelly in a press briefing.
"We do provide them with assistance, of course ... we have confidence in
the ability of the Pakistani government to provide adequate security for their
nuclear programs and materials, and we have a number of security assistance
initiatives that are focused on strengthening counterinsurgency capacities to
foster stability", he added.
The New Yorker reported that the US is concerned about the safety of
nuclear weapons in Pakistan and offered help to protects its nuclear arsenal.
Kelly said that the United States is "siding with the governments" in
Afghanistan and Pakistan "who are seeking to conquer the kind of violent
extremism that we have seen with the Taliban and al Qaeda and other terrorist
groups".
He also refuted any link the "horrible acts" that took place at Fort Hood
Army Post and "our ongoing struggle against extremism in Afghanistan and
Pakistan".
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, of a Muslim background, is the suspect in last
week's mass shooting at the army post that left 13 dead and 42 wounded.
"We are going to let the Department of Army and Department of Justice
conduct their investigations into the motivations behind those terrible
attacks on our service members and civilian members", he added. (end)
