From BBC News:
Every now and then in this business someone in a position to know some enthralling secret passes information on to you, but you have no means of backing it up from other sources.
A few years ago, I was told about extraordinary US contingency plans to recover Pakistan's nuclear weapons, in the event of a collapse of law and order or an extremist coup in that country.

My Comment: I find it hard to believe that the U.S. has the resources and abilities to go into Pakistan, isolate their nuclear arsenal, and then move it out. The logistics and resources necessary to conduct such an operation would be staggering. We are not talking about a few boxes, we are talking about a considerable amount of nuclear material and equipment .... nuclear material that will have to be handled with great care and caution.
Is there a "secret plan" for the U.S. to move in and remove Pakistan's nuclear arsenal in the event of a catastrophic situation .... my gut tells me no.
