i am curious i read an article on the mediamonitors webpage that a little more than suggests that there's a connection between Isreal and India. that Isreal is supplying arms and tech and encoraging india to take a more aggressive stand on Kashmir and Pakistsan because isreal is "concerned" about a pakistani nuclear missile that's in development that has a range of 2,400 Km (enough to reach isreal). i'm not sure whether to trust this story or not. on the one hand the article that appeared in the NY times today about india report to the U.S. that Pakistani backed "terrorist" shot up some U.S. office or something and called for the U.S. to put more pressure etc. on pakistan. that sounds way too familiar like exactly the same thing isreal is fond of doing. on the otherhand the Indian govt. can't be that stupid as to associate itself with Isreal. i'm sure everyone can imagine exactly how well that would go over with Pakistan and Iran etc. so has anyone heard anything else about this? is it serious or just propaganda?

one thing i was able to confirm was the article is right about the missile it's the "shaheen II" solid fueled two stage range 2,400 Km warhead: unknown (the shaheen I has 1,000 kg warhead so i would assume at least that much) under developement as of december.
