| More missile tests conducted by Pakistan |
| 2002-05-26 |
| Pakistan followed one widely criticized missile test with another launch Sunday as the international community struggled to contain the country's rising tensions with neighboring India. Officials said the military conducted the first-ever test of a new short-range missile, the Hatf-III or Ghaznavi. With a range of 176 miles, the missile could reach the border regions of India, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers face Pakistani troops in a standoff. If I was a State Department functionary, skilled at negotiation and with a talent for seeing the other side's point of view, I'd still see that as a slap in the face. |
