The Times of India also reports on the Washington Post story on the nuclear reactor under construction in Pakistan. They give a little additional information that is relevant.
The ISIS paper, while ostensibly dealing with Pakistan’s expanded program, was also headlined, ''Is South Asia heading for a Dramatic Build-up in Nuclear Arsenals?''
An unnamed Pakistani official helped amplify the concern by confirming that Islamabad was ''consolidating the program with further expansions,'' and the expanded program includes ''some civilian nuclear power and some military components.''
Albright also reported that Pakistan had made no effort to conceal the construction of the new reactor, enabling even commercial satellites to take high resolution pictures.
While the timing of the report and its affirmation by US and Pakistani analysts is manifestly aimed at raising the ante before the US-India nuclear vote, the experts also suggested the new reactor is still a few years from completion. (Emphasis added)
….
Pakistan’s nuclear program, aside from what its now disgraced expert A.Q.Khan stole from Europe, is mostly based on help from China. According to the Center for Non-proliferation Studies, most of Pakistan’s nuclear facilities have been build with Chinese help or bought from China.
China has also supplied Pakistan with nuclear weapons, enriched uranium, heavy water, tritium and other materials and components that have enabled it to go nuclear.
So, with that bit of information, what country is causing the destabilization?
