Apropos, an article posted by KLP on the RWET: Another problem: Pentagon: India, Pakistan make chemical weapons Saturday, 13 January 2001 18:15 (ET) Pentagon: India, Pakistan make chemical weapons By AAMIR SHAH ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Both India and Pakistan are developing chemical weapons and working to improve their nuclear capabilities, says a report published Saturday in Pakistani newspapers. Newspapers quoted a U.S. Department of Defense report saying India had the facilities to make both chemical and biological weapons. Evidence suggests some of these facilities were doing research on chemical and biological warfare. According to the report, Pakistan also imports chemicals that have dual use. These chemicals can be used for making medicines as well as chemical weapons. The report said that both the nations claim that they have been following the policy of minimum nuclear deterrence but evidence suggests otherwise. India's nuclear capability, the report said, was already beyond its need for minimum deterrence and Pakistan has been trying to match Indian weapon programs. Both India and Pakistan tested their nuclear devices in May 1998 and since then they have been developing weapon delivery systems. They have already tested several short and medium range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The rivals, already have fought three wars since their independence from Britain in 1947. -- Copyright 2001 by United Press International. All rights reserved. vny.com
