Nuclear Aims By Pakistan,

Sometime next year, at a tightly guarded site south of its capital, Pakistan will be ready to start churning out a new stream of plutonium for its nuclear arsenal, which will eventually include warheads for ballistic missiles and cruise missiles capable of being launched from ships, submarines or aircraft.

Pakistan with about 60 nuclear warheads; primarily targeted towards India, is continuing production of fissile material for weapons and adding to its weapons production facilities and delivery vehicles.

Pakistani authorities said they are modernizing their facilities, not expanding their program.

Pakistan tested nuclear devices in May 1998; India first detonated an atomic bomb in 1974.

They are both going great guns [on] new systems, new materials; they are doing everything you would imagine. While both India and Pakistan say their actions are defensive, the consequence of their efforts has been to boost the quantity of materials being produced and the number of times they must be moved around, as well as the training of experts in highly sensitive skills
