Myanmar might be building nuclear program, experts say

Analysts say that a growing amount of circumstantial evidence suggests that the military government of Myanmar is laying the groundwork for a nuclear program. Images released last month showing a network of 800 tunnels, apparently excavated with help from North Korea, and rumors that a North Korean freighter was ferrying weapons to Myanmar before turning around under U.S. pressure several weeks ago, have stoked concerns of an atomic alliance between the Asian nations. "There's suspicion that something is going on, and increasingly that cooperation with North Korea may have a nuclear undercurrent," said David Albright of the Ploughshares-funded Institute for Science and International Security. "We are very much looking into it."
