After Friday's attack, India hopes Pak will secure its N-assets

New Delhi, Oct 23 (PTI) India Friday hoped that Pakistan
government will "effectively secure" its nuclear assets, amid
concerns over their safety in the wake of a terror strike at a
facility housing such arsenal.

India also made known its unhappiness over "very very
slow and tardy" progress of investigation and prosecution in
the Mumbai attacks case.
"We have seen reports of what happened today at Kamra (in
Pakistan). We hope the Pakistan government will continue to
take steps to effectively secure their nuclear assets,"
India's Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said.
She was asked to comment on the terror attack near a
strategic military complex reportedly linked to Pakistan's
nuclear weapons programme near Islamabad.
The attack has triggered concerns over safety of
Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
Asked about the sense India is getting about the status
of probe and prosecution by Pakistan in the Mumbai attacks,
Rao referred to the meeting she had with Pakistan Foreign
Secretary Salman Bashir and the discussions Indian External
Affairs Minister S M Krishna had with his Pakistani
counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi in New York last month.
"During these meetings, of course, we emphasised our
concerns about the very very slow and tardy pace of action
being taken against those responsible, conspirators and others
responsible for the Mumbai terror attacks," she said. (MORE)
