100 pounds = 45.5kg.

#4 In 1974, India successfully tested a nuclear device, and Pakistans president, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, put out a call to all the scientists in the Pakistani diaspora to return home and help make a bomb.

This is incorrect. Bhutto initiated the bomb program after the 1971 defeat, NOT after the 1974 Indian test. He famous "eat grass" speech was made in 1965.

As FAS notes --

Pakistan has been looking into the acquisition of nuclear weapons since the early-1960s.

We have no alternative,' he said in 1965.

However, it took the humiliating defeat of 1971, when Indian forces occupied Eastern Pakistan and transformed it into an independent Bangladesh, to truly commit Pakistan to the acquisition of nuclear weapons. In the wake of that war, Mr. Bhutto assembled Pakistan's leading scientists in a tent in Multan in January 1972 where he delivered a passionate speech about the shame of defeat and how imperative is was for Pakistan to have nuclear weapons. Bringing up what seemed a note of caution, Mr. Bhutto pointed to a higher objective when he explained that `this is a very serious political decision, which Pakistan must take
