Jammu , September 29:

The United States  military is worried over Pakistan’s nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists now after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan as that would threaten the global peace and order.

At the moment fresh worries have surfaced in the United States about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal; – as Taliban  is having close links with the Al-Qaeda, the global terror network , responsible for the 9/11 in 2001  that laid a new template for the terrorism in the world, as also with the Tehreek-e-Taliban, Pakistan or TTP,. These concerns have been the mind of the world ever since  Pakistan declared itself  a nuclear power in may 1998 , when it conducted the nuclear explosions in Chagai hills of Balochistan .

Top  US generals  have claimed that they had warned the US  President Joe Biden that a swift withdrawal from Afghanistan could increase risks to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons “ and also observed that the sanctuaries that Pakistan provided to terrorists  too needed to be investigated and truth brought out.

“ We estimated an accelerated withdrawal would increase risks of regional instability , Pakistan’s nuclear arsenals ,” Chairman of the Joint Chief General Mark Milley told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday .

“We need to fully examine the role of Pakistan sanctuary,” the general said, while emphasising the need to probe how the Taliban withstood US military pressure for 20 years.

General Milley and General Frank McKenzie, the leader of US Central Command, also warned that the Taliban Pakistan will now have to deal with would be different from the one they dealt with earlier, and this would complicate their relations.

“I believe Pakistan’s relationship with the Taliban is going to become significantly more complicated as a result of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan ,” General McKenzie told the lawmakers.
