The latest militant attack in Pakistan shows an "increasing" threat to the state, Clinton said on Sunday, but voiced confidence Islamabad was in control of its nuclear arsenal. LONDON (AFP) - – The latest militant attack in Pakistan shows an "increasing" threat to the state, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday, but voiced confidence Islamabad was in control of its nuclear arsenal. She said the militants' brazen bid to storm the Pakistani military headquarters in Rawalpindi on Saturday highlighted the scale of the threat faced by Islamabad. "Yesterday was another reminder that extremists ... are increasingly threatening the authority of the state," she said. "But we see no evidence that they (the militants) are going to take over the state," she said at a press conference with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband. "We have confidence in the Pakistani government and military's control over nuclear weapons," Clinton added. Miliband made a similar point. "There's no evidence that's been shown publicly or privately of any threat to the Pakistani nuclear facilities," he said following talks between the two top diplomats. Analysts said the attack and subsequent siege was deeply embarrassing for the military and showed the Islamist militant threat to the nuclear-armed nation was far from quashed, despite Pakistan's claims it is winning the fight. The strike at the heart of the military establishment left at least 19 people dead. Pakistani troops stormed the complex on Sunday, ending the day-long siege and freeing 39 people held by the militants. It was the third dramatic militant attack in less than a week, after the Taliban vowed to avenge Baitullah Mehsud's death. A suicide car bomb on Friday killed 52 civilians at a busy market in the northwest city of Peshawar and an attack on a UN office in Islamabad last Monday left five aid workers dead. In London during a tour of Europe and Russia, Clinton also issued a stern warning to Iran over its nuclear programme, saying the international community "will not wait indefinitely" for the Islamic republic to meet its obligations. Global powers were outraged after Iran, just days ahead of talks in Geneva on October 1, revealed to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that it was building a second uranium enrichment plant near the holy city of Qom. Clinton said the six-party talks in the Swiss city on October 1 were a "constructive beginning" but she said they "must be followed by action". "Words are not enough," she added. "We are speaking with a single voice and delivering a clear message to Iran: the international community will not wait indefinitely for evidence that Iran is prepared to live up to its international obligations." Western powers suspect Iran's nuclear programme is aimed at making atomic weapons, a charge strongly denied by Tehran. The next stage in the talks comes on October 19, when officials from Iran, the United States, Russia, France and the IAEA are to meet in Vienna to work out the deals under which Tehran has said it is ready to buy 20 percent pure uranium from abroad. Clinton was to hold talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown before heading to Dublin. She arrived in the British capital after helping to overcome a last-minute hitch as Turkey and Armenia on Saturday signed historic pacts in Zurich to normalise relations and open their shared border. US officials said the Armenians had balked at signing the deal because of concerns about a statement that the Turkish foreign minister would read at the ceremony. Clinton recalled to reporters travelling with her: "There were several times when I said to all of the parties involved that 'this is too important, this has to be seen through, you have come too far.'" The signing -- a first step to reconciliation between the two countries after a century of hostility over World War I-era massacres -- eventually went ahead.
