- MacBookForMe, on 10/10/2009, -8/+19I fear for their nuclear wepons...

- nouman1989, on 10/10/2009, -1/+7FYI :The Police and Army are fully involved and if you read the complete article,six military personnel lost their lives in that successful encounter with the terrorists...
- ranon78, on 10/10/2009, -0/+6Latest reports say that 15 pakistani soldiers are held hostage in the Army HQ. It seems that some of the attackers got inside.
- inactive, on 10/10/2009, -0/+5You mean ONE decade.
- AgeofMastery, on 10/10/2009, -1/+5I'd agree with you except for the nukes. Not letting the Taliban become a nuclear power is in our best interests.

- reesmeister, on 10/10/2009, -0/+3If you want to learn more about that very confusing region... I just finished a book, Ahmed Rashid's "Descent Into Chaos The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia" ... I recommend it... it's a good primer for Pakistani and Afghan politics...a good historical narrative that brings you up to just after Bhutto's assassination and Obama's election (as long as you have the new paperback version that is).
- STBAT25, on 10/10/2009, -0/+3But I just heard the Pakistan Foreign Minister say "Any country that can produce nuclear weapons can protect them".
- BotchaMcCoola, on 10/10/2009, -0/+2Oh yes, and keep trying to sell that "safe haven" ***** too. Atta and the 911 crews found Afghanistan so much better than Germany and the US for high tech terrrorist crime planning. Maybe it is the superior Afghanistan airforce, flight simulators and IT infrastructure?
- JohnnySoftware, on 10/11/2009, -0/+1No, he's right. Don't dig him down. This is a very real concern. Pakistan and India both demonstrated their nuclear capability with nuclear bomb tests a decade ago.
When Russia sort of collapsed and the Soviet Union fell, the fate of the nuclear missiles in Soviet arsonals scatered around East European countries suddenly become a point of curiosity in some people's minds.
Well, suddenly, here is an incident which could be the beginning of another case to raise curiosity over the safety of nuclear weapons overseas.
He is right about the hostages too. The BBC page that carries this article inks to a number of articles in competing news sites (hats off to BBC) that are carrying fresh articles about the hostages taken. Also, while the article might have been written originally to say that the attackers were all killed outside the base - it was later updated to say that 2 attackers are known to be in the base and staff are trying to catch or kill them.
That is not a completely controlled situation. No slight intended to the military forces there but nobody should be overlooking hostages or hostile attackers running around in a military base of a nuclear power. And by overlooking, I mean digging down the previous commenter who pointed them out. - samsmartjr, on 10/12/2009, -0/+1@kylescousin - the reason why you're being dugg down is because Pakistan already has nuclear weapons. The fear is that the religious extremists in Afghanistan will march into Pakistan and take them over. Just wanted to point that out in case you were confused.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 10/10/2009, -3/+2Go have a closer look at the USAF Museum outside Dayton. Convince us taxpayers the great USA should be afraid of third world countries. It is pure ***** at best and robbery by MIC interests more likely.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 10/10/2009, -4/+2With US taxpayer losses no doubt. Put the US first and get out of there.
- yankeesultan7, on 10/10/2009, -6/+3Unless the Pakistani government gets the police and military more involved Pakistan could spiral out of control like neighboring Afghanistan.
- diggguru, on 10/10/2009, -6/+3Taliban strikes the heart of the security forces of Pakistan. Those attackers have hostages inside the compound. . How secure are their nuclear arsenals and reactors in relation to this incident? This needs to get some attention.
- BotchaMcCoola, on 10/10/2009, -9/+3Another couple thousand US bombings there should get things heated up into a respectable war . Check with the Chinese if our line of credit will allow it. If not it may be back to video games.
- Rfriaz, on 10/10/2009, -8/+1The HQ at the end made me think this was a good-quality clip of a shootout. Why am I a bad person Digg :(
- ghvbn, on 10/10/2009, -12/+2Pervez Mushraf created rival Taliban group to fight against true Mujahideens and to defame true Taliban. This rival Taliban group nothing but criminals in beard. Since Mushraf is not in power anymore they get logistical and financial help from India.
- kylescousin, on 10/10/2009, -22/+2I think you're confusing Pakistan with Iran.
Iran is the one with the potential of nuclear weapons.
