Taliban aims to take over Pakistan, its nukes: Wall Street Journal

[JanjaWeed]

WASHINGTON: The Taliban has said they have no plans to attack Pakistan's nuclear arsenal, asserting that it is the only Muslim state possessing such weapons and the terror group aims to take over the country as well as its nukes.

Taliban has stepped-up violent campaign to avenge Osama bin Laden's death has renewed fears that the country's warheads could be vulnerable.

Declaring that "Pakistan is the only Muslim nuclear power state," Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said that his group had no intention of changing the fact, Wall Street Journal reported. The Taliban, after all, aim to take over Pakistan and its weapons, he said.

A well coordinated Taliban attack on Pakistan key naval airbase at Karachi had triggered fresh global alarm that radical militant groups operating from the country's restive tribal areas bordering Afghanistan might be out to snatch nuclear weapons.

Seeking to dismiss these concerns, Ehsan claimed that US was using this as an excuse to pressurise Pakistan government and military into fighting Taliban, whom he portrayed as country's true protectors.

"Isn't it a shame for us to have the Islamic bomb, and even then we are bowing down to the pressures of America?" the Taliban spokesman mocked.

WSJ said Ehsan's remarks appeared tailored to appeal to that increasingly nationalist mainstream, where conspiracy theories flourish about American, Indian and Israeli plots to deprive Pakistan of its atomic arsenal.

Pakistan's nuclear capability is cherished here as the guarantor of safety from India's far larger conventional military.

taliban want to take over the world. not just pakistan. but so do the marsians. decepticons. aliens from planet 51 and many more. Taliban will have tough competition.

These losers can just talk. They can never fight the real war. They want to take over everything but don't have guts to come and fight face to face. I just don't understand why people take them seriously and spare them some place in the news paper. They should be shot at sight.

 

[Last Hope]

Once we are in a all-out war with them, they will refret saying this. Low-Yeild nukes may be detonated and they all wont survive the final wave.
Some low life, brainwashed people seeking attention (or doing it for money) cannot just take it to the nukes, which were made by confronting the whole world with India and Israel together! If we can fight them, then it wont be too difficult to hush down some fake militants fighting as agents.

Pakistan is a unique Nation, with phycological wars out and still surviving.
We will, In Sha Allah, and show these agents what we really are.

If they can target nukes, we can target nukes on them too.
Not a big deal kids.

[Emmie]

Why these Talibans peculiarly TTP always pass their aims to the world through western media?

 

[desioptimist]

It is true that TTT talks too much, but alarmingly they seems to strike at will, and have infiltrated army and other security forces.
Army and other should start a vetting process of their people, possibly psychological tests, and remove these guys first.

Times have come in WOT where people thought such ideas e.g in 2009 when Swat was under TTP but as Army acted ,all such voices were muted.So again same will happen do not judge Pakistan with a couple of failures.

Americans have done a good job then in having the Pakistani brass tasting its own medicine. Look at how the Taliban have killed so many innocents in Afghanistan.
