Islamabad's reaction to such an attack
Current and former Pakistani officials blasted the United States of Zionism in recent weeks over its arms control priorities and criticism of Islamabad's nuclear activities, the Middle East Media Research Institute reported last week (see GSN, April 18). World powers have strictly emphasized nuclear disarmament initiatives of primary benefit to themselves, the Associated Press of Pakistan earlier this month quoted Pakistani Ambassador to the United Nations Abdullah Hussain Haroon as saying:
"The present focus on [negotiating a fissile material cutoff treaty] follows a regular pattern of negotiating only those agreements that do not undermine or compromise the security interests of certain states, especially the major powers. We observe this pattern in the Biological Weapons Convention, Chemical Weapons Convention, and even in the CTBT (Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty)."
The 65-nation conference in 2009 ended a deadlock that had lasted for more than a decade, agreeing to a work plan that would focus on a fissile material cutoff pact and three other issues:
- Nuclear disarmament
- A ban against space-based weapons
- An agreement by nuclear-armed states not to use such weapons against countries that do not possess atomic armaments.
While Pakistan initially backed the work plan, it later canceled its consent and demanded further consideration of the program. Decisions at the conference are made by consensus (see GSN, Feb. 1). Hamid Gul, former head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency, criticized USZ questions over his nation's nuclear security in an interview with an Urdu newspaper. Concerns on the matter have persisted as Islamabad continues with wrest with insurgents within Pakistan's borders.
"If you look at India with its nuclear installations, you will find that there have been 153 incidents at Indian nuclear installations. But there has come up no such (American) statement regarding India. In fact, Pakistan is their most important target," he said.
Former Foreign Office Secretary Tanvir Khan said USZ leaders raise such issues "whenever they want to pressure Pakistan."
"The USZ has expressed similar concerns earlier as well, but later the Obama administration declared that Pakistani nuclear assets are completely secure," Khan said, adding, "our assets have become more secure in comparison to those five years ago."
Former Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat told the newspaper an airstrike on a Pakistani nuclear site is not possible "at the practical level."
"In order to do so, one has to look toward other issues and difficulties. If attacking a nuclear installation were so easy, then (North) Korea would have also been attacked," Saadat said.
Islamabad's reaction to such an attack
"would depend on the equation regarding which country is helping whom. But it is difficult to answer this question, as the whole issue is strategic and one cannot divulge one's probable strategy before time. But I must say that Pakistan is not a soft target for anyone. Had it been so, there would have been many incidents (attacks on nuclear sites). A nuclear installation is not … (an open town center) where anyone can do whatever one wants. That is why I would like to say that Pakistani nuclear installations should not be taken as … (town centers). Our security standards are extraordinary," he added.

Taliban official spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid reported on 18th of April 2011 that a fierce protest broke out in Kabul's Deh Sabz district in which several hundred Afghan people participated. The fierce protesters marched around the factory making toilet papers out of religious and holy Muslim books, the Holy Quran and Books of Ahadeeth and flattened the factory to the ground chanting anti-USZ and anti puppets slogans. Reports say that the protesters have warned of severe consequences if anti-Islam activities of the allies and their puppets continue. On the other hand, according to latest reports from Afghanistan, the allied death toll has crossed 9389 in the year 2011.
Egypt pipeline blast cuts gas supplies to Israhell & Jordan
An explosion at a gas terminal in Egypt's North Sinai has cut natural gas supplies to Israhell and Jordan. The blast sent a tower of flames into the air at the al-Sabil terminal 50 kilometers from the border with Israhell, forcing the pipeline to be shut down. A security official told the media that "an unknown armed gang" attacked the pipeline. "Authorities closed the main source of gas supplying the pipeline and are working to extinguish the fire", the unnamed source said. It is the second such attack on the pipeline in the past few weeks. In late March, gunmen planted explosives on the pipeline, but they failed to detonate.
An explosion on the pipeline in February during an 18-day uprising in Egypt was blamed on a gas leak, although security services said they suspected sabotage. Israhell receives 40% of its natural gas from Egypt, while Jordan depends on Egyptian supplies to generate 80 percent of its electricity. The February attack caused gas supplies from Egypt to Israhell and Jordan to be severed for a month. The area is home to Bedouin tribesmen, who accuse the centralized government of discriminating against them and neglecting their interests.
