Wikileaks has revealed that the US had made it clear to India that Washington was satisfied with measures taken by Islamabad to secure its nuclear weapons, and these measures had increased the US confidence in Pakistan. India had stressed that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons were in danger of falling into the hands of terrorists.

A cable was sent by US Ambassador in India, David Malford from New Delhi to Washington on 27, November 2009. The cable mentioned details of the strategic security dialogue held between Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao and Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Alan Tauscher.

According to the cable, Nirupama Roa said that India was at risk from dangers stemming from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Therefore, India had to increase its nuclear capabilities in order to match the nuclear threats from Pakistan, the cable quoted Roa. Alan Tauscher assured the Indian Foreign Secretary that Pakistan had assured the US that its nuclear weapons are safe.

The head of the National Nuclear Security Administration John Gerrad, who was also present during the dialogue, stressed that in recent talks between the US and Pakistan, Islamabad’s measures to secure its nuclear weapons had increased Washington’s confidence.

MUZAFFARABAD: Eight mysterious helicopters were seen roaming about in the skies of Muzaffarabad at around 1:15am, Geo News reported.

The copters including seven small and a large remained in the skies for several minutes and returned after inspecting the mountains in Dolai area of AJK capital.

The roaming of these helicopters has created panic among the people of the area.

Military officials have claimed that these helicopters were of Pakistan and that these were on night mission.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik has admitted that hiding of Al-Qaeda Chief Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad was an intelligence failure.

In an interview with an Arabic newspaper, Rehman Malik said killing of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan has strengthened our resolve to fight the menace of terrorism with renewed vigor.

It was an intelligence failure. Sometimes it happens, but I assure our allies that he was not protected by any government agency, the Interior Minister stated.

He said that 9/11 also happened due to intelligence failure. Not only 9/11, I can cite other incidents in the world which were result of agencies failure. That does not mean that those agencies protected terrorists, he added.

Malik ruled out the possibility of anyone, either from the political leadership or from the military top brass, stepping down for the “intelligence failure.”

No heads will roll in the aftermath of Osama, he said, adding how many people resigned after 9/11 in the US?

Who created Bin Laden and sent him to fight Russians? he questioned. We never invited him to Pakistan. He went there with hundreds of other Arab fighters to wage a jihad against Russian forces, and the world knows who supported them, he added.

An extensive investigation has been ordered to know the circumstances that enabled Bin Laden to stay in the country undetected, he concluded.

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday in a firefight with U.S. forces in Pakistan and his body was recovered, President Barack Obama announced on Sunday.

“Justice has been done,” Obama said in a dramatic, late-night White House speech announcing the death of the elusive mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the New York and Washington.

Obama said U.S. forces led the operation that killed bin Laden. No Americans were killed in the operation and they took care to avoid civilian casualties, he said. “The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda and a terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands of men, women and children,” Obama said. It is a major accomplishment for Obama and his national security team, after many Americans had given up hope of ever finding bin Laden.

A crowd gathered outside the White House to celebrate, chanting, “USA, USA.” Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, had repeatedly vowed to bring bin Laden to justice “dead or alive” for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly3,000 people, but never did before leaving office in early 2009.

U.S. officials said that after searching in vain for the al Qaeda leader since he disappeared in Afghanistan in late 2001, the Saudi-born extremist was killed in the Pakistani town of Abbotabad and his body recovered. Having the body may help convince any doubters that bin Laden is really dead.

He had been the subject of a search since he eluded U.S. soldiers and Afghan militia forces in a large-scale assault on the Tora Bora Mountains of Afghanistan in 2001. The trail quickly went cold after he disappeared and many intelligence officials believed he had been hiding in Pakistan.

While in hiding, bin Laden had taunted the West and advocated his militant Islamist views in videotapes spirited from his hideaway. Besides Sept. 11, Washington has also linked bin Laden to a string of attacks — including the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the warship USS Cole in Yemen.
