Pakistan Nuclear Security Questioned

Joby Warrick of the Washington Post reports that "when the United States learned in 2001 that Pakistani scientists had shared nuclear secrets with members of al-Qaeda, an alarmed Bush administration responded with tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment... to safeguard Pakistan's nuclear weapons. But Pakistan remained suspicious of US aims and declined to give US experts direct access to the half-dozen or so bunkers where the components of its arsenal of about 50 nuclear weapons are stored. For the officials in Washington now monitoring Pakistan's deepening political crisis, the experience offered both reassurance and grounds for concern."
