Nuke theory in Burma tunneling confirmed by defectors
A US non-proliferation group is calling on the International Atomic Energy Agency to investigate Burma, after fresh reports the military junta has a secret nuclear program which may be working towards a bomb. Suspicions have long existed, but have been bolstered by claims from two Burmese defectors who say they had close knowledge of the operations. One of the defectors says huge tunnels are being used to transport equipment sent from North Korea, echoing comments from Hillary Clinton last month that the two countries may be working together on nuclear development.
Professor Desmond Ball, along with freelance journalist Phil Thornton, spent two years collecting evidence from the Burmese border. It's this evidence which has put the issue back on the international security agenda.
