Pakistan's Khushab plutonium production reactor.

Pakistan is controlled by an oligarchy that controls most if not all of the wealth. The military is well paid to guard the wealthy.
But the extreme fanatics are always going to be able to have the sympathy of the majority while the majority is in wretched poverty.
