Clinton worried by possible extremist access to nukes

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed concerns yesterday that Pakistan's choice to deploy its nuclear weapons in multiple locations could make it easier for extremists to acquire a bomb. Clinton's warning came amid indications that Pakistan is augmenting its atomic capabilities. A new report by Ploughshares-funded Institute for Science and International Security "suggests that Pakistan is increasing its plutonium capacity, and went from one reactor several years ago to having three," with the third yet to be completed, according to ISIS senior research analyst Paul Brannan.
