Pakistan Test Fires Nuke-Capable Missile

 CBS News Interactive: Nuclear Armed World

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) ― Pakistan on Friday successfully test-fired a medium-range, nuclear-capable ballistic missile at the conclusion of the army's annual field training exercises, the military said.

A statement said that the Strategic Missile Group had launched the Shaheen-1 missile from an undisclosed location. The missile has a range of 420 miles.

Nuclear-armed Pakistan routinely tests the various missiles in its arsenal, designed to match that of neighboring archrival India.
