Dawn.com, Washington :
The United States reminded India and Pakistan on Thursday that nuclear capable states do not threaten to use atomic weapons in any conflict.
The US government also categorically said that it considered the Sept 18 attack on an Indian military facility in Uri a terrorist attack. The warning to avoid a nuclear conflict followed reports in the international media that both Indian and Pakistani governments had intensified their rhetoric and hinted at the possibility of nuclear military actions against each other.
