Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit on Wednesday dismissed United States (U.S.) and British (U.K.) fears that its nuclear weapons programme could fall into hands of terrorists.

Abdul Basit said that their fears are misplaced and doubtless fall in the realm of condescension.

He said that there has not been a single incident involving our fissile material, which clearly reflects how strong our controls and mechanisms are.

It is time they part with their historical biases against Pakistan," Basit said, referring to Britain and the United States.
