India, Pakistan swap list of nuke facilities


Nuclear rivals Pakistan and India exchanged lists of their nuclear facilities Saturday in line with a bilateral agreement to hand over such information annually on New Year's day, the foreign ministry said.

The two countries swapped the information under an agreement signed in 1999 on prohibition of attacks on each other's nuclear installations, foreign office spokesman Masood Khan said.

"Accordingly, the information on nuclear installations and facilities of both sides was exchanged today through diplomatic channels," the spokesman said in a statement.
