Some fear Kashmir conflict could escalate to nuclear disaster
usatoday.com -- A festering regional dispute could spark the world's first nuclear exchange and make the Sept. 11 terrorism toll look minuscule by comparison. Experts say half a million to 50 million people could die if the conflict between Pakistan and India over the disputed province of Kashmir escalates to the use of nuclear weapons. The livelihoods of more than 1 billion people could be ruined, accompanied by global economic consequences.
