always a possibility, though im sure those facilities are well guarded.....unlike the insurgents we are fighting along the Afghan border, the naxals are pretty poorly armed. They seem to be decent at hit and run tactics, but not as tough as the enemy we are fighting. In neither country are the nuclear facilities at risk of attack; though i do seem to recall a couple years back a prominent nuclear scientist in the neighbour country did go missing in the restive region and was later found dead. Nobody knows yet if he revealed any information (of whatever kind) to his kidnappers.

They might be less equipped, but they have their strongholds in much greater (land) areas & are also greater in number as compared to the terrorists we are fighting. The Naxal insurgency is spread out in 40% of India, whereas ours is spread in 2% of the country (FATA). In that sense, its easier for us to operate against the terrorists than India does against the Naxals.
