Terrorism: bases and nukes
Foreign Policy magazine and the Center for American Progress polled 108 foreign affairs experts across the political spectrum about terrorism and related issues.
Asked what country is likely to be the next al Qaeda stronghold, the experts said:
- Pakistan — 35%
- Iraq — 22%
- Somalia — 11%
- Sudan — 8%
- Afghanistan — 7%
The experts also put Pakistan at the head of the list most likely to transfer nuclear technology to terrorists by 2012:
- Pakistan — 74%
- North Korea — 42%
- Russia — 38%
- Iran — 31%
- United States — 5%
The experts were divided about how to change US policy toward Pakistan: about a third favored sanctions against the country, and a similar number advocated increasing US aid.
Pakistan likely tops both lists both because of ideological forces at work within the country, and because it is regularly cited as one of the states most likely to fall apart.
Shahdad Brahui Says
It`s no surprise that Pakistan shall be the centre of Talibans/Al-quida. If pressent attitude of the “civilised world” to Pakistan conitues, it shall provide storm to the wings of Pakistani Military by transfering Nuclear Technology to the
terrorist because Pakistani Military is a “business Corporation.”
After all, Pakistan is the leader of Islamic world
and they think that, “Khilafat shall be established in the whole world !!??!!
