Pakistan tests N-capable missile

Pakistan yesterday tested a short-range, nuclear-capable missile, renewing international concerns over the country's nuclear weapons programme.

The Pakistani military said in a statement that the "Abdali" surface-to-surface missile had a reach of 200km and could carry nuclear and other types of warheads.

A foreign diplomat said yesterday's test was unlikely to prompt immediate concerns, as Pakistan was known to possess long-range missiles. Farhan Bokhari, Islamabad.
