   Pakistan dismissed fears over the safety of its nuclear arsenal expressed by Western officials in secret diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks, saying the custodial control mechanism for its strategic assets are foolproof. The United States and the world community are aware that Pakistan’s nuclear installations are well secured, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit told the media. Pakistanis are a progressive and moderate nation and there is no question of nuclear installations or materials falling into the hands of militants, he said. The safety and custodial controls of Pakistan’s nuclear assets are “foolproof” and the country’s export control mechanism has “no loophole for any mishandling”, Basit said. “Their fears are misplaced and doubtless fall in the realm of condescension. There has not been a single incident involving our fissile material which clearly reflects how strong our controls and mechanisms are,” Basit told the media in response to questions in the wake of disclosures by WikiLeaks.
