Two Pakistani officers were taken hostage and a lieutenant general was among the eight soldiers killed in a gunfight with presumed Taliban gunmen following their audacious invasion of the Pakistan’s army headquarters in capital Saturday, Oct. 10.

Pakistani paramilitary forces battled a second group of insurgents for control of a road tunnel which connects the towns of Darra Adam Khel and Kohat in the North West Frontier Province.

On May 15, DEBKA-Net-Weekly exclusively named Kohat and Kamra as keys to Pakistan’s nuclear and missile arsenals and reported that Kohat’s fall to the Taliban would cut Islamabad and the Pakistani high command from Kamra and its nuclear arsenal

"If the Taliban get control of the nukes, who is in more danger, India or U.S. or someone else??"

Probably India, they're the nearest target. They'd (Taliban) use them in a hurry before the rest of the world 'swooped-in' to stop them.

Can you extrapolate?

Do you think Indians will wait to see if it’s the 50% right or 50% wrong?

The Indian Air Force would have to search and bomb any capture missile TELs (Dongfeng M-11 SSMs, Ghauri I and II MRBMs) with their Su-30MKIs while MARCOS (Marine Commandos) will capture any Taliban-held nuke installations.

India may not want the Taliban to have a nuclear place at the table. You can bet that’s above somebody’s pay grade.

The bombing, beheading, raping, robbing and pillaging Taliban is not the Taliban that Obama knows.

See, if you are a Nobel Peace Prize winner, you have special powers that allow you see things that others can't.

I’m not going to trust Debka’s news until its confirmed by DAWN/AKI!!!

>>If the Taliban get control of the nukes,

Broken Arrow!

Booom!



That's what "should" happen... but The One just won a "peace prize"...

[Logical me]

Just a matter of time and all hell will break loose in the World.

[himno hero]

AND American taxpayers money....

[Logical me]

If they get close to anything nuclear, you can expect to see the Indians on the scene.

Hadn't thought about India. India is not very happy with the Pakies now and that kind of nuke slip up would just about seal the deal. Wham!!! Adios Pakistan.

But, Micheal Moore said these were just a bunch of guys on monkey bars and are no threat to us or anybody else.

[Gadsden1st]

Any serious recommended reading about how a Taliban takeover of Pakistan would play out? I am talking about a true takeover of power, of the acting government.

Overt weakness inevitably leads to war. It will be clear that the Kenyan received the Nobel anti-peace prize when all is said and done.

[Brytani]

But but Mr. Peace Prize said the Taliban were moderates....

Must have been a rogue group of Amish gang members.

Do you think Indians will wait to see if it’s the 50% right or 50% wrong?

No, methinks Delhi is probably going to DEFCON 1 if true.
