India Ready for Nuclear Exchange, Says Army Chief
by Ranjit Devraj

NEW DELHI - India's army chief Gen. Sunderajan Padmnabhan on Friday dared Pakistan's president and military ruler, Gen Pervez Musharraf, to launch a nuclear first strike against his country, stepping up bilateral tensions even further.

''If he (Musharraf) is man enough, let me correct that, if he is mad enough to override international opinion on that scale, then surely he must do it (launch a nuclear strike),'' Padmanabhan said at a press conference, a day before Musharraf was due to make a televised address outlining his policy toward 'jihadist' groups operating from Pakistan.

Following a visit by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to the sub-continent earlier this week to help defuse tension as the nuclear-armed neighbors massed troops along their 3,000 km border, pressure has been growing on Musharraf to clearly state his stand on terrorism.
