EU asks Pak to explain '98 nuke test
ISLAMABAD : The European Union parliament has unanimously passed an amendment seeking to know urgently from Pakistan whether its 1998 nuclear test was a joint programme with North Korea,
observing that "totally unaccountable" control of Pakistan Army on its nuclear programme led to proliferation of the sensitive technology."
| Did this letter start out "You incompetent meatheads"? |
| Did it end with "Please, please tell us? Please?" |
(The European Parliament) urgently requests further information from Pakistan regarding the nuclear test from 30th May 1998 in Balochistan which showed traces of plutonium and which is thought by some to have been a joint test for a North Korean nuclear weapon," the amendment, passed by the EU parliament in Brussels , this week said.
| This would explain why the Norks haven't tested one at home, they outsourced the test to Pakistan. |
| The Paks may have shared this with every nuclear wannabe. |
It said "(The House) draws attention to serious concerns of the international community about Pakistan's role in the proliferation of nuclear weapons, with the allegations and evidence against Pakistan hardening day by day; while acknowledging that President (Pervez) Musharraf has been right to insist upon a detailed investigation and that he is right when he claims that the (AQ) Khan "incident" happened because of the secretive nature of Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme."
The amendment was passed after the Parliament voted in favour of a resolution approving a new trade agreement with Pakistan and another expressing concern over restoration of democracy and human rights there.
