Corrections and clarifications

The heading of a report (“International” page, February 14, 2008) was “Pakistan tests nuclear missile”, while the text said “Pakistan on Wednesday test-fired the short-range, nuclear-capable Ghaznavi ballistic missile which can target northern and western Indian cities as the government vowed to ‘retain a strong conventional and unconventional deterrence’.” A nuclear-capable missile is a weapon that can carry nuclear arms, but it is not a nuclear missile. (The Ghaznavi missile is a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) with an optimal range of 290 km. It can deliver either a conventional or nuclear payload and is powered by a single stage solid propellant engine.)
