Pakistan's president said Saturday that airtight military control over his country's nuclear weapons will keep them safe from terrorists - even if something happens to him.

Pervez Musharraf, who endured two assassination attempts in the past month, told The Associated Press that "as long as the military of Pakistan remains, nothing can go wrong."

He told reporters Friday there were multiple layers of security and not even he had free access to all the equipment and information about the program. "I don't think anyone knows where those weapons are. Nobody knows. Even the United States doesn't know where they are. There is no attack possible on our nuclear assets."
