Former CIA Officer Richard Barlow on Friday reacted to reports about a joint plan by India and Israel in the 1980s to launch a pre-emptive strike on Pakistan’s Kahuta nuclear facility, saying that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi did not approve of the attack, which would have solved a lot of problems.
“It never happened, it was just talk. It is a shame that Indira (former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi) did not approve it. It would have solved a lot of problems," Barlow told ANI’s Ishaan Prakash.
