Pakistan Tests New missile

Saturday, 3 March 2007

    The Pakistan military tested a new missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead on Saturday. It was a surface - to - surface missile called an Haft-ll Abdali with a range of 125 miles. The Pakistani military called the test a success.  Source

   Yep, like we really need more missiles flying around in that  neighborhood. If Bush and the boys are going to worry about terrorist getting their fingers on a nuke, Pakistan is the first place to start since the country reportedly likes to keep some al-Qaeda members company on occasion.
