Amid
the frenzy surrounding North Korea’s recent nuclear test, a new
analysis suggests that Pakistan may also be beefing up its stockpiles
of atomic weapons.
A
report posted to 38 North on Thursday estimates that North Korea
could be in possession of roughly 20 atomic bombs by the end of the
year.
"Its
[DPRK] ability to field an ICBM fitted with a nuclear warhead capable
of reaching the United States is still a long way off – perhaps 5
to 10 years, but likely doable if the program is unconstrained,"
the report reads.
But
as the global community reacts to Pyongyang, an analysis from IHS
Jane’s reveals that Pakistan may also be increasing its nuclear
stockpiles, building a new uranium enrichment complex.
