Clinton, in London during the second leg of a five-day tour through Europe and Russia, joined the British Foreign Secretary David Miliband to warn Iran that the U.S. and British governments did not wait long to persuade the Islamic republic to the world its nuclear ambitions are peaceful.

Before making stops in Ireland and Northern Ireland, Clinton pledged that the United States will continue to support the peace process in Northern Ireland and said those who continue to exacerbate the tension and violence are out of sync and time.

Along with his British counterpart, Clinton said there is no suggestion that nuclear weapons Pakistan could fall into terrorist hands despite bold Taliban attack Saturday at the army headquarters in Rawalpindi, which exposed the weaknesses in security.

Clinton said militants are increasingly threatening State authority, but we see no evidence that they will take over the state. We trust the Pakistani government and military control over nuclear weapons.

In a joint press conference, but Miliband said Pakistan faces a mortal threat from extremists, there is the risk that nuclear weapons are at risk.

He criticized those who might suggest that. I think it's important not to let the alarmist comments to gain strength, he said.

The Taliban has launched a series of increasingly bold attacks on military targets and political rights in Pakistan in recent months. The latest came on Saturday when militants dressed in military uniforms attacked the army headquarters, taking dozens of hostages. The 22-hour siege ended on Sunday when a group of commandos raided the building. At least 19 people died in the clash, including three hostages, and eight of the militants.

Miliband said he and Clinton spent much time together talking about the conflict in Afghanistan, situation in neighboring Pakistan and the crisis over Iran's atomic program.
