Pakistan to conduct another nuke test: Musharraf
font size    

Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf Wednesday disclosed that Pakistan will conduct another nuclear test within next two months but refused to elaborate if it will be a nuclear bomb or new missile test, the local news agency News Network International reported.

Addressing a news conference at the Presidential Palace here on Wednesday evening, Musharraf said, "I am giving you breaking news that Pakistan will conduct an important nuclear test in the next two months."

He, however, denied to give further details if the test would be of a missile or another atomic bomb test. He rejected the feeling that his government has been engaged in rolling back national nuclear arms program.

"Those who think so are just mad, we will never roll back our nuclear program and would continue developing credible deterrence and missile program," the president said.

Since the scandal that Pakistan's top nuclear scientist Qadeer Khan leaked nuclear secret to foreign countries broke out earlier this year, Pakistan has been facing international pressure for tightening the control of its nuclear asset.
