Here’s our warm, fuzzy news of the day: Pakistan’s Nukes Within Terrorists’ Reach?

(CBS)� While calling the rising tide of Taliban violence in Pakistan cause for grave concern, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs played down the nightmare scenario of terrorists taking control of that country’s nuclear weapons.

“I don’t think that’s going to happen,” said Adm. Mike Mullen. “I don’t see that in any way imminent whatsoever at this particular point in time.”

But Adm. Mullen acknowledged there’s a limit to what he knows since Pakistan guards its doomsday secrets as jealously as the U.S. guards its own, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.

“Much of the complex is largely secret and kept so necessarily by the Pakistani government and so I’m not sure we know as much as we should,” said CBS News consultant Juan Zarate.
