WASHINGTON: Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over the possibility of emergence of nuclear suicide bombers from Pakistan if jihadists get access to the country’s atomic weapons, reports Indian media citing a New York Times report.

“Pakistan is running full speed to develop tactical nukes in their continuing hostility with India.” she said. “But we live in fear that they’re going to have a coup, that jihadists are going to take over the government, they’re going to get access to nuclear weapons, and you’ll have suicide nuclear bombers.

 So, this could not be a more threatening scenario,” the New York Times said, quoting Clinton as saying in an audio being hacked from the Democratic Party’s computers.The former secretary of state told the above to a closed door fundraiser in Virginia in February, the paper reported, citing 50-minute audio that appeared on the website of The Washington Free Beacon.
