Hillary Clinton has expressed concern over the possibility of Pakistan's nuclear weapons falling into the hands of jihadists, which she said was "a threatening scenario", according to a media report.

"Pakistan is running full speed to develop tactical nukes in their continuing hostility with India," the former secretary of state told a close door fundraiser in Virginia in February, The New York Times reported, citing 50-minute audio being hacked from the Democratic Party's computers.

"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.

The United States appears to have taken a strong note of Asif's recent statements on use of nuclear weapons. "Nuclear capable states have the responsibility to exercise restraint regarding nuclear weapons and missile capabilities," a state department official commented on the incident.

"Both groups are supported by its military despite being on United Nations lists of terrorist organizations," the daily said in the hard-hitting opinion piece, a day after India carried out surgical strikes in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir against terrorists planning to sneak into the country. 

The Journal noted that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has consistently offered closer economic and diplomatic ties to Pakistan as long as it stops supporting terrorism.
