Pakistan said on Friday it was confident its nuclear weapons facilities were secure in the event of military strikes on neighboring Afghanistan, and it had no word from Washington on possible plans to bolster protection. "I think Pakistan is responsible for ensuring the security of its nuclear weapons, I don't think anyone else can do that," Lieutenant-General Rashid Qureshi, spokesman for military ruler General Pervez Musharraf, said.
"And I'm quite, quite confident that Pakistan is capable of doing that."

U.S. officials say the issue of Islamabad's nuclear program is under active review as Washington moves toward military action in Afghanistan after the deadly September 11 hijack plane attacks on New York and Washington.
Qureshi said he was unaware of any dialogue with Washington on the subject and that Islamabad had no details on what was being considered. Bureau Report
