DELHI, India - In the wake of the attack that left Srinagar nothing more than a smoking crater and with some experts estimating the death toll to be in the hundreds of thousands, Pakistan and India find themselves on the brink of a nuclear war. Reeling from the attack, India has laid the blame of the weapon that destroyed Srinagar and, despite protests from other governments, are in the process of mobilizing their border forces.

A spokesman from the Pakistani government has denied any and all involvement with yesterdays sudden attack. In retaliation to India's mobilization they, too, are preparing their forces in case of a retaliatory strike.

Srinagar has been a hot spot of contention between India and Pakistan and many are fearing the latest escalation will lead to full out war between the two countries. Something, the UN has stated, must be avoided at all costs. World leaders have been advocating no further escalation in military forces until the source of the bomb can be determined.

As the UN and the rest of the world grapple with the events that unfolded in the valley of Kashmir, India and Pakistan continue to prepare their armed forces for what some are saying might be an inevitable confrontation.
