Pakistan has dismissed US fears about the safety of its nuclear weapons as revealed in the leaked US diplomatic cables by the whistle-blower website, WikiLeaks. Commenting on the report, Pakstan Foreign Office spokesman dismissed the fears as misplaced. U.S. diplomatic cables released by the website WikiLeaks show American concerns about the security of Pakistani nuclear material and Islamabad's commitment to fighting insurgents along the country's border with Afghanistan. It shows that in a February 2009 cable, the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, said American officials were concerned that someone working in a Pakistani nuclear facility could gradually smuggle enough material out to make a weapon. The latest round of leaked cables also show reports that Pakistan had delayed its promised transfer of spent nuclear fuel to the United States. Pakistani officials warned American officials that local media would portray the transfer as the U.S. taking Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Another report concluded that more financial or military assistance from the U.S. would not stop Pakistan from continuing to support Islamist militants, which Islamabad sees as part of its security strategy against rival India. The latest cables also said that small teams of U.S. special forces have operated inside Pakistan's tribal areas with the government's consent.
