Today Nuclear tests anniversary in Pakistan

Pakistan will be celebrating the 13th anniversary of its nuclear tests on Saturday (today) at a time when concerns are being expressed about the safety of its nuclear weapons.
PML-N Quaid Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, who was the then Prime Minister when the nuclear tests were carried out, will address a ceremony at Aiwan-i-Iqbal, Lahore on May 28th to mark the event. He is expected to highlight the significance of the nuclear capability and the pressures he had to face till the last moment. Pakistan insists that its security system, which works under the supervision of the Nuclear Command Authority, is one of the best in the world, but the recent attack on a naval base in Karachi, in which the terrorists destroyed two of the three P-3 Orion surveillance planes the country had purchased from the US, have provided the critics with a pretext to raise questions about the security of the nuclear arsenal. The country, however, is determined to move forward, convinced that enemies of Pakistan would not tolerate nuclear capability of an Islamic country.
