Americans, not Taliban pose threat to Pak nukes: Fazl

ISLAMABAD: Jamiat Ulema-I-Islam-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday Pakistan’s nuclear assets are more under American threat than that of Taliban.

The Americans have taken over Islamabad and turned it into a mini pentagon, he told newsmen in Islamabad.

Rehman said talks in Balochistan while military operation in Waziristan reflect the doublestandard of the government.

Taliban had given the mandate for talks but the government had adopted the course of power, he opined.

“We are not even in favor of armed struggle let alone suicide attacks,”

The situation has now changed after the operation, Fazl said, adding that he is not sure whether or not Taliban will agree on talks.
