Leaked aerial photographs show what appear to be nuclear reactors � like those specifically used to enrich uranium to make weapons. The photos have led to a massive increase in surveillance on the secretive state and their arms trade with North Korea. Hundreds of photos and secret documents, smuggled out of the country by defector Sai Thein Win, indicated that Burma was intent on developing nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. Fears that Burma had joined a nuclear network linking North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and Syria have been growing for some time, but there has not been hard evidence until now. Sai Thein Win is an army major who trained as a defence engineer and missile expert. He said he had access to two secret nuclear facilities, including a "nuclear battalion" which was "charged with building up a nuclear weapons capability". Robert Kelley, an American former senior weapons inspector with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the evidence was the most compelling yet. The photographs, which were passed to the Democratic Voice of Burma, part of the Burmese opposition, showed components built with German machines imported through Singapore, which Mr Kelley believed indicated "nefarious purposes". Mr Kelley said: "They are either trying to make reactor fuel which they could buy for nothing from another country, or they are trying to make a weapon clandestinely. "There is just not much point doing that unless it is for a bomb." Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3069479/Burma-making-nuclear-bombs.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News#ixzz0uoMBTwP9
