'India ready for nuclear response'
NEW DELHI, June 3 (UPI) -- India has finalized preparations for a retaliatory nuclear attack against Pakistan if Islamabad decides to use atomic weapons against New Delhi, a senior Indian official warned Monday, but another defense official said neither country would be reckless enough to use such weapons. In an interview published India's weekly Outlook magazine, Defense Secretary Yogendra Narain also acknowledged that a nuclear war would end in "the mutual destruction" of both the countries. However, in another media interview, Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes downplayed fears of a nuclear war between India and Pakistan saying neither country would be imprudent enough to use the nukes.
