New Delhi, Jan 14 (IANS) The prospect of a terrorist laying hands on nuclear weapons is a global worry and India is also gearing up for this 'fourth generation warfare', Indian Army chief Deepak Kapoor said here Wednesday.
'It is very much a part of our thought process and we call it fourth generation warfare or the dirty bomb,' Kapoor told reporters during a conference organised ahead of the 61st Army Day.
'This is the new dimension added to the policy of the Indian Army apart from the counter insurgency and anti-terrorism operations,' Kapoor added.
The army chief also hoped that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal was in safe hands.
'I suppose there is a degree of stability and this (Pakistan nuclear weapons falling in the hands of terrorists) does not happen. I hope their (Pakistan's) weapons are as secure as of any other country,' Kapoor lamented.
