Sayeth the BBC:

the Indian defense establishment is researching a form of hand grenade 
using capsules of Bhut Jolokia (they don't say in what form) in place of 
explosives, to produce non-lethal crowd-control weapons.

Curiously, the story also states that the same chile will be used as a 
food additive for Indian troops. Seems to me the Jolokia would be a more 
effective weapon added to the /enemy's/ curry...
