Carla — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 18:24:35 +0000

The US commission has said that, Pakistan may just give in the nukes that they possess to the extremists group Taliban, to use it against India, without Pakistan itself doing the dirty work. If such an incident has to break out, then someone is going to make some decisions.

Mr. Graham, head of the US high commission said that they worried over the safety of these weapons. One of their recommendations were to work a fail-safe plan for both countries.

During the cold war, US and Russia were countries possessing nuclear powers, and if any missteps could be taken, they acquired the red phone between the two countries – none of this however exists between India and Pakistan. India and China,on the other hand, are improving their relations from past few months, but no development can be seen on the Indo-Pak side.
