I can’t vouch for the credibility of the source (India’s Zee News) but here’s a report that the Taliban have kidnapped two top Pakistani nuclear scientists. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
New Delhi, March 07: Two top nuclear scientists of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) are currently in Taliban custody. The two were working at PAEC’s facility in North West Frontier Province. Zee News investigations reveal that the two scientists were kidnapped about six months ago. To avoid international embarrassment Pakistan Government has kept this information under wraps.
According to information available with Zee News, nuclear scientists have been kidnapped by Taliban at the behest of Al-Qaeda. Further investigations reveal that Al-Qaeda may be using the expertise of the scientists to produce nuclear bombs. The two scientists are reportedly being held somewhere in Waziristan, near Afghanistan border.
If true, it’s disturbing news; but it’s highly unlikely that they’re going to be building “nuclear bombs” in a cave in Waziristan.
