- NEW DELHI -- Pakistani nuclear
facilities and storage sites in the northern areas have suffered "15
to 20 percent damage'' in the recent mega quake and the local populace
faces the risk of contamination, a report said.
-
- Claiming that these sites and facilities had suffered
serious damage, the European website Newsinsight reported that "the
local population faces the risk of contamination, but a curfew has been
imposed and they are being actively prevented by the authorities to leave
the area.''
-
- It added, "While western sources did not say that
reactors had been damaged in the October 8 earthquake, they confirmed that
missile silos had developed cracks and storage facilities had taken a hit.''
-
- Pakistan Government turned away international relief
teams "because of the serious damage to the nuclear facilities.''
-
- The report said Pakistan had not allowed Indian Army
relief work or IAF supply drops besides withdrawing consent for Israeli
assistance fearing infiltration by Mossad agents "who would destroy
the atomic establishments.''
-
- "Since the epicentre is likely to be seismically
active for another two years, they expressed fear of further collapse of
the nuclear establishments,'' the website informed.
-
- "To prevent leak of this massive nuclear destruction,
Pakistan bottled up the local population by imposing curfew and did not
permit international inspection of the disaster-hit areas,'' it added.
