Pakistan tests missile

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, March 19 (UPI) -- Pakistan has successfully tested a nuclear-capable missile with a range of 1,250 miles Saturday, the BBC reported Saturday.

The test of the two-stage Shaheen II missile, which is comparable in capability to India's Agni-II missile, came two days after a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

The test was observed by Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.

Islamabad did not disclose the location of the test, but did advise Delhi prior to the event, the BBC said. Both Pakistan and India routinely conduct live tests of their nuclear-capable missiles.
