Taiwan denies its cruise missile under development could carry nuclear warhead
Taiwan's Defense Ministry has refuted claims by an Opposition lawmaker that the ministry is planning to arm the Hsiung Feng 2E cruise missile with a nuclear warhead.
"We've clearly stated in our defense white paper not to produce, develop, acquire, store or use nuclear or biochemical weapons," the Defense Ministry said on its Web site.
Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian also dismissed the claim. He said there are no nuclear missiles in Taiwan and his administration will not develop one.
