India, Pakistan Exchange Nuclear Data
From Wednesday, January 2, 2008 issue.
India and Pakistan yesterday traded data on each nation’s nuclear facilities, in keeping with a 1988 confidence-building measure that requires annual information sharing, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry announced (see GSN, Jan. 3, 2006). The two nations “exchanged lists of their respective nuclear installations and facilities,” according to a statement (Pakistani Foreign Ministry release, Jan. 1). The data exchange comes at a time of heightened concern about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal following the Dec. 27 assassination of political opposition leader Benazir Bhutto (see related GSN story, today; Agence France-Presse/Spacewar.com, Jan. 1).
