Pakistan on Tuesday test-launched its nuclear-capable Haft-7 Babur cruise missile for the second time. According to a statement from the Pakistani army, “All phases of the planned trajectory were extremely successful and the missile impacted with pinpoint accuracy.” Reports indicate that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf witnessed the launch and congratulated the scientists involved. India was not given advanced warning of the test.
