Myanmar seeking to develop nuclear weapon – report

BANGKOK, (Reuters) – Military-ruled Myanmar is  seeking to develop a clandestine nuclear programme with the  intent to produce a nuclear bomb, according to an investigation  by an exiled anti-government group.

A five-year investigation by the Norway-based Democratic  Voice of Burma (DVB) concluded that Myanmar, formerly Burma,  was a long way from producing a nuclear weapon but had gone to  great lengths to acquire the technology and expertise to do so.
