Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari Tuesday is rejecting U.S.
concerns some of his country's nuclear weapons are at risk of being
acquired by members of the Taliban.

In the interview Zardari said the region is not at risk of falling
into the Taliban's control.

"We have a 700,000 [man] army. How could they take over?" he said.

Zardari also brushed aside U.S. concerns Taliban sympathizers within
Pakistan's army could help the organization acquire some of the
country's nuclear weapons.

"There aren't any, sir, sympathizers for them," he said. "There is a
mindset in the local area maybe who feel they are akin to the same
religion, God, etc, etc. But nothing that should concern anybody as
far as the nuclear arsenal or other instruments of such sort."

Zardari also reacted to the New York Times' report that Pakistani
officials have repeatedly denied American requests for more
information on the location of the country's nuclear weapons.

"I think it's on a need-to-know basis information," he said of the
weapons' location. "If it comes up we might and I might not share it
with them, it depends.
