English abstract
Based on lengthy policy-orientated research this article has two main elements. The first looks in detail at Pakistan's technical and procedural preparations to ensure the safety and security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons and is derived from a USIP funded project and includes the findings of interviews with senior SPD (Strategic Plans Division) staff and experts from the US, UK, Pakistan, and France. The article then considers the empirical evidence of the evolving modalities of terrorist attacks on hardened military targets in Pakistan to highlight an area of emergent risk in the critical field of terrorism and WMD.
