How many times have we heard this before?
Myanmar's military junta denied Friday it is developing a nuclear weapons program, decrying such allegations as groundless and politically motivated.
State radio and television news reported the Foreign Ministry's denial, which claimed that anti-government groups in collusion with the media had launched the allegations with the goal of "hindering Myanmar's democratic process and to tarnish the political image of the government."
The Norway-based Democratic Voice of Burma, a Myanmar exile news service, last week charged that the junta, aided by North Korea, is actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program with the aim of developing a bomb and long range missiles.
It said its conclusions were based on a five-year study and revelations by a recent Myanmar army defector.
