I think US' fears are valid. :yes: They maybe after our chilli bombs.
Curry bomb! Indian army chiefs reveal latest weapon in war on terror: the world's hottest chili
Indian army chiefs are set to deploy a new weapon to win the war on terror.
Weapons development experts have developed an eye-watering spice bomb, packed with a potent mix made from the bhut jolokia chili - recognised as the world's hottest.
Scientists from India's Defence Research and Development Organisation have created an 81-mm tear-gas like grenade.
The new grenade will help its soldiers to immobilise enemy fighters, and allow them to be captured, without long-term injury.
The thumb-sized bhut jolokia, or 'ghost chili,' was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the worlds spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in Indias north-east for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.
It has more than one million Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chilis spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.
