U.S. Army poised to take over Pakistan’s nuclear weapons?

US Army to ‘protect’ Pakistan’s nuclear sites, PRESS TV  17 Jan 2010 In face of a growing anti-Americanism among the Pakistan military, the US army moves to train a ‘crack unit’ to thwart possible attacks on the country’s nuclear facilities.

The unit would be responsible to take back Pakistani nuclear weapons in the event the militants gain access to the strategic devices and materials, the Pakistani daily The Nation reported Sunday.

The measure is taken as the US military fears the possibility of an attack “from inside the country’s security apparatus,” added the report.
