Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said today that he warned India earlier this year that Pakistan was not afraid to use unconventional weapons if attacked (see GSN, April 8).

“In my meetings with various world leaders, I conveyed my personal message to Indian Prime Minister [Atal Behari] Vajpayee that the moment Indian forces cross the line of control and the international border, then they should not expect a conventional war from Pakistan,” Musharraf said.

Musharraf made his revelation at an army function today in Karachi, but he did not specifically mention Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

“I believe my message was effectively conveyed to Mr. Vajpayee,” he said (Agence France-Presse, Sydney Morning Herald, Dec. 31).
