How Likely Is It

[Shyam]

For the Taleban or for any Islamic militant group in Pakistan to get hold of a nuclear weapon in Pakistan.

Edit: Also what are the implications if they do manage to acquire nuclear weapons. And also what would you recommend the steps be taken to deal with this in a hypothetical situation.

 

[Warped]

its Taliban

but its highly likely. i mean how easy is it for a group of individuals to **** up the economy so much it'll take decades to fix?

 

[Krynn72]

Easier than getting a nuclear weapon. Its possible, but not likely I don't think. It would be traced back to whoever sold it to them, and... think of the hell that would rain down on them. Not something a lot of people would risk I don't think.

 

[VirusType2]

Time to get all Madagascar on that ass.

 

[Feath]

its Taliban

Either is fine.

 

[Warped]

Either is fine.

really?? i thought there was only one English Spelling for it. my bad!

also I'd go on a jihad on crazy nukers if i knew it'd save millions of people

 

[Nuada]

also I'd go on a jihad on crazy nukers if i knew it'd save millions of people

That's exactly what the Taliban said

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Chances? Hell if I know. If they acquire one? Hope our defense system is good enough, or move to NZ.

exactly the same way Al qaeda got ahold of nukes from Saddam. they just exhange that shit under the table when no one is looking.

to be absolutely sure we're not attacked by WMD we should just nuke that entire side of the world. **** pakistan, india, china, madagascar, yurop, santa claus and the freakin baby seals and the dolphineses

 

[lame-o]

yeah **** madagascar

Also on topic: a lot less likely than North Korea successfully using one of their nukes on another country. Which isn't likely.

 

[<RJMC>]

if all the soldiers and the goverment of pakistan decide to suddenly team up whit them

cuz I dont think they have them keep in table whit a "dont touch" sign in a office of a postal center

For what it's worth:

Pakistani nuclear weapons cannot fall into wrong hands (Pakistani newspaper The Nation, 12-07-2009)

Pakistan has a strong command and control system with tight security arrangements in place for protection of its nuclear weapons, which make the strategic assets inaccessible for militants, a top expert on South Asian nuclear affairs said.
(....)
Naeem Salik who has been closely associated with Pakistan’ Strategic Plans Division, termed frequent media stories on concerns about Pakistani nuclear security as “far-fetched”. Such reports, he remarked, superficially try to connect some incidents of terrorism in the country to nuclear safety in order to invoke concerns.

Salik is a former brigadier general in the Pakistani Army who now seems to be working for the Brookings Institution.
