WikiLeaks: UK, France concerned over Pakistan nuke

According to recent revelations by the whistle blower website, WikiLeaks, the UK and France are concerned about the Pakistani nuclear weapons.

Jean-David Levitte, President Nicolas Sarkozy's Diplomatic Advisor, announced the French government being cautious about the security of Pakistan's nukes, the website reported.

Britain has also raised concerns over the safety of Pakistani's nuclear weapons. Director General, Defence and Intelligence Mariot Leslie has suggested that the Chinese government is a tool to stabilize Pakistan.

“Pakistan has accepted nuclear safety help, but under the IAEA flag (albeit British technicians). The Pakistanis worry that the US will drop in and take their nukes.”

Levitte and Richard Holbrooke, a special US envoy on the Afghanistan war, however, have decided to seek for the Chinese government for a greater coordination on AfPak policy.

Levitte has also announced that the Pakistani army is “searching of a country.”

“He asserted that the Pakistani army is well regarded by the Pakistani people when not in power, but that it fails when in power. He further stated that PM Gilani is currently the “”civilian in charge”” but does not now seek the Presidency, nor does Nawaz Sharif, who views the current turbulent situation as an inopportune time to be President. As a result, Levitte said that the consensus GOF view is that the Pakistani government will “”remain as-is”” in the near future,” the cables read. Press Tv
