At a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) in Delhi this evening, the government set up a nuclear command authority, comprising a political council chaired by Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The nuclear command authority will be the only body to sanction the use of nuclear weapons. It will be assisted by an executive council chaired by the national security advisor. There will be a commander-in-chief to head a Strategic Forces Command to manage and administer all nuclear and strategic forces. The cabinet also approved the arrangement of alternate chains of command for retaliatory nuclear strikes in all eventualities. The CCS has also reiterated India's nuclear doctrine. It is as follows: Building and maintaining a credible minimum deterrent. Nuclear weapons will only be used in retaliation to a nuclear attack on Indian territory or on Indian forces anywhere. And in the event of a major attack against India or Indian forces anywhere, by biological or chemical weapons, India will retain the option of retaliating with nuclear weapons. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
