Bill Roggio at The Fourth Rail reported over the weekend about growing concerns in the U.S. intelligence community over the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal as Al-Qaeda and Taliban operatives have abandoned camps in Pakistan’s tumultuous Northwest Frontier Province.

An Iraq War veteran who’s written about the war since 2004, Roggio begins his piece this way:

US intelligence investigates Pakistan’s nuclear security and the military’s loyalty to Musharraf as the Northwest Frontier Province spins further out of control.

As the security situation in the Northwest Frontier Province continues to deteriorate and President Pervez Musharraf’s political stock continues to drop, the US military intelligence community is “urgently assessing how secure Pakistan’s nuclear weapons would be in the event President Gen. Pervez Musharraf were replaced.” Meanwhile, the Taliban and al Qaeda have dispersed operatives from the training camps in the Northwest Frontier Province and are preparing to fight on their own terms.
