PAPER: INDIA, PAKISTAN WERE AT BRINK OF NUCLEAR WAR

The full dimensions of the recent crisis between India and
Pakistan over Kashmir are only now coming to light, the
WASHINGTON POST is set to report on Monday.

According to publishing sources, the paper is set to quote senior
Clinton administration officials: the latest conflict over
Kashmir came much closer to full-scale war than was publicly
acknowledged at the time and raised very real fears that one or
both countries would resort to using variants of the nuclear
devices each tested last year.

The POST'S John Lancaster quotes a senior administration official
close to the action: "This is one of the most dangerous
situations on the face of the earth... It was very, very easy to
imagine how this crisis... could have escalated out of control,
including in a way that could have brought in nuclear weapons,
without either party consciously deciding that it wanted to go to
nuclear war."

The tension piqued two months ago as Pakistani and Indian forces
intensified their fighting over the province of Kashmir -- which
both sides claim as their own.

"India, it seemed, was preparing to invade its neighbor."

According to the paper, "President Clinton helped avert that
prospect during his widely reported Independence Day meeting with
Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who agreed after hours of
tense discussions to withdraw the forces that had triggered the
flare-up in early May."

Even U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott left the
Hamptons vacation scene to stop the potential annihilation.
