Washington (PTI): The United States is installing radiation detectors at Pakistani ports to check proliferation of nuclear material and weapons of mass destruction to and from the country, a top US official on nuclear security has said.

"We do work with Pakistan with the Department of Homeland Security, on Secure Freight Initiative, in putting radiation detectors in their ports. One port is done. Karachi is the second port. We're negotiating that type of work," said Thomas D'Agostino, the Under-Secretary for Nuclear Security.

Also Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, D'Agostino refrained from giving much of the details at a Congressional hearing on Wednesday about what the US is doing in Pakistan in this regard, saying that these are of sensitive nature and could be deliberated only in a close door session.

"We have our export controls experts who are in the process of working with Pakistan, on training on what to look for with respect to what comes into the country and goes out of the country," D'Agostino said.

"Pakistan has legislation in place as a nation to establish this type of capability and maintain it. They have developed their own lists of materials and advanced their lists of materials on things that they are looking for" he said.

Did you ever consider that Pakistan may want the US to help them with this? Pakistan does not want to be blamed for a nuclear terror attack (dirty bomb) originating on its soil. Having this equipment might prevent Pakistan from being used by irhabis in a way that would be devastating to Pakistan.

Hmmm...so the US is actively involved in safeguarding the Pakistani Nuclear Program. Pretty logical though since the US cannot afford such a big headache of nuclear capabilities falling into jehadi hands. Good thing those nukes are being well guarded.

Yup, prior to the US guarding Pakistani nukes, "Jehadis" were detonating them all over the world, weren't they? Good job the US are finally putting a stop to that.

They even let Pakistan safeguard some of their valuable radiation sensors!

Not EBAY, he was more like Santa Claus. Driving around in a radioactive sleigh pulled by mutant reindeer, dropping off warheads every year to every evil regime in the world in one night.
