India's explosion has already triggered a disturbing reaction among its neighbors in the traditionally tense Persian Gulf-Arabian Sea area. Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar AH Bhutto warned that his country, which has fought four wars with India since 1947, "will never surrender to any nuclear blackmail by India.
