Isis could obtain nuclear weapon from Pakistan, warns India

Isis could obtain nuclear weapon from Pakistan, warns India - Asia - World - The Independent: "India's defense minister has voiced concern that the radical Islamist group Isis could obtain a nuclear weapon from "states like Pakistan".
Rao Inderjit Singh made the comments on the sidelines of the Shangri-La regional security conference in Singapore, Bloomberg has reported.
"With the rise of Isis in West Asia, one is afraid to an extent that perhaps they might get access to a nuclear arsenal from states like Pakistan," Bloomberg quoted him as saying.
Earlier in the month Isis suggested it could attempt to buy its first nuclear weapon within a year and that it might come from Pakistan.
An article in its propaganda magazine Dabiq said: "The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilāyah [official] in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region.""
