India concerned over safety of Pak's nuclear installations


ndia has expressed concern about the security of the Pakistan's nuclear arsenal after militants struck near a nuclear facility in Kamra in Punjab province on Friday.

Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said on Friday that India hoped Pakistan government would take steps to ensure its nuclear weapons do not fall into the hands of militants.

The statement holds significance in the wake of an attack near a nuclear facility in the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex within the cantonment in Kamra in Punjab on Friday, which killed seven people. The terrorists struck near a nuclear facility in Pakistan for the fourth time since 2007.

Apart from the Karma blast, a bus carrying a marriage party was also blown up in a landmine explosion near Mohmand Agency. Several women and children are among the dead in the incident.

Hours before the bus blast, at least 10 people were injured in a bomb attack outside a restaurant in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
