I wonder how rediff can post this as news. The news about Pakistans stock piling of nukes and building new reactors appeared 6 months ago. By this time the reactor might be producing many nukes and they might even be exporting it to China...after all its China that has oursourced the production :-)

Anything about Pakistan and Pakistani military development is news. A sane individual would find it very hard to believe that the military arsenals of that land are not being targeted by moslem hard-core terror groups. But then again these need not be targetted at all. The Pakistani military establishment, headed by the very able and competent ISI, would take care of that!
On the lighter side, it is a strong possibility that China outsources its production of military hardware and software to Pakistan. I draw particular reference to software because it took a couple of Pakistani brains to develop one of the world's first recognizable computer virus. The Pakistanis are no pushovers when it comes to developing to quality sophisticated software.
It should matter to most common Indian citizens as to what Pakistanis are upto. After all, it helps one to prepare oneself against all probable eventualities :-)
