The United States believes Pakistan can protect its nuclear weapons but vulnerabilities remain, the director of the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have confidence in Pakistan\u2019s ability to safeguard its nuclear weapons though vulnerabilities exist,\u201d Lieutenant General Ronald Burgess said in testimony to the Senate intelligence committee, without providing details on what those weaknesses were.<\/p>\n

The Pakistani government has come under repeated attack from Taliban extremists \u2014 including on the country\u2019s military establishment in Rawalpindi late last year \u2014 raising questions over the security of Pakistan\u2019s nuclear arms.<\/p>\n

Burgess said the tribal areas in Pakistan continued to provide \u201cvaluable sanctuary\u201d to al Qaeda and others and while attacks on these groups had disrupted some of their activities, they remained resilient.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
