| Pak instals Shaheen missiles as precautionary step |
| 2002-05-20 |
| In anticipation of a possible attack or any forward movement by the Indian army, Pakistan has installed Shaheen missiles — which have a range of 750 kilometres — at appropriate points. It has also informed world powers, including US, that if India resorts to any adventure, Pakistan will have every right to use all options at its disposal, says The Nation. Islamabad also assured the world leaders that primarily it believes in dialogue and if even then India continues provocative moves, Pakistan will use all options for the security of its land. In that case, it will be an unlimited war. Pakistan, even under the relatively reasonable Musharraf, still seems hell-bent on suicide. It sounds suspiciously like they consider nukes a weapon of first resort, rather than last. |
