India and Pakistan sign nuclear pact

India and Pakistan today signed an agreement to avert the risk of accidentally triggering a nuclear war between the South Asian rivals.

The signing, done in New Delhi in the presence of the foreign ministers of both countries, comes just days after a pair of blasts set off a fire that killed 68 people on a train to Pakistan. The blast has been seen by officials from both countries as a way to divert them from the peace process.
