Pakistan steadily increasing nuclear arsenal

Pakistan is said to be making twenty nuclear weapons a year, playing it on track to be the third largest nuclear power, behind the US and Russia. The concern with Pakistan is that its generals are mercurial figures who have failed in war and seek to maintain legitimacy by aggressiveness on the world stage.

By the way, there was a serious explosion at Parchin last fall. Mossad?
