'India, Israel planned to hit Kahuta in 1980s'
India and Israel had secretly planned to hit Pakistans nuclear facility in Kahuta in 1983-84, but backed off when the CIA tipped off then president General Ziaul Haq. According to APP, The Asian Age reported this in a report published on Sunday. The report states that a new book, Deception: Pakistan, the United States and the Global Nuclear Conspiracy by Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark, reveals details about Indias secret intelligence links with Israel. It claims that Indian military officials secretly travelled to Israel in February 1983 to buy electronic warfare equipment to neutralise Kahutas air defences. According to the book, India put its plans on hold when the chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission warned the director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre that Islamabad would attack Mumbai if Kahuta were attacked.
