Myanmar’s Quest For Nuclear Weapons: Reality Or Needless Suspicion

A controversy over Myanmar’s quest for possession of nuclear weapons emerged with a report by two defectors to an interviewer of the Sydney Morning Herald carried by many news agencies that the country was planning to acquire nuclear weapons. The defectors also claimed that Myanmar had supplied "yellowcake" uranium to North Korea and Iran. The defectors codenamed Moe Jo and Tin Min reportedly told Australian investigator Desmond Ball that the military junta has nuclear ambitions that far exceed its official line.
