NEW DELHI — Indian and Pakistani officials signed an agreement Wednesday to avert the risk of accidentally triggering a nuclear war between the South Asian rivals.

The signing, done in New Delhi in the presence of the foreign ministers of both countries, comes just days after a pair of blasts set off a fire that killed 68 people on a train to Pakistan. The blast has been seen by officials from both countries as a way to divert them from the peace process.

Details of the pact have been kept secret, but it includes confidence-building measures related to both countries' nuclear arsenals, officials say, part of continuing peace efforts after more than a half-century of hostility.

India and Pakistan tested nuclear weapons in 1998, and have been pursuing peace initiatives since 2004.

This is the queen in the Middle Eastern game of chess. Sign a treaty and be the first to break it wins the game. I'm just shocked the world hasn't caught on. These treaties are as meaningless as (insert a Dennis Miller line here).
