India, Pakistan trade charges over nuclear arsenal oversight

SPARRING COMES DAYS AFTER THEIR MOST SERIOUS MILITARY CONFRONTATION

- 

India and Pakistan yesterday accused each other of failing to control their nuclear weapons, calling on the world to monitor their neighbour's arsenal just days after their most serious military confrontation in two decades.

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Pakistan's nuclear arsenal should be under the surveillance of the UN's atomic energy agency, while Islamabad said the international community should investigate a "black market" in India.

The latest conflict between India and Pakistan had sparked concerns that it could spiral into a full-blown war before a ceasefire was brokered on Saturday.
