Newsmen report unusual activity at possible site of Pak N-test

Pakistani army men are engaged in extraordinary activities in the Chaghi area of Baluchistan, according to local journalists.

Chaghi, in south-west Baluchistan, close to the Afghan border, is among the spots identified for a possible nuclear test by Pakistan.

The British Broadcasting Corporation last night reported in its Urdu service that foreign journalists have been asked to keep off Chaghi.

Recently, the Urdu daily Nawa-i-Waqt had reported quoting foreign office sources that Chaghi, Noshki and Walbadin were among the areas where necessary infrastructure has been provided for the test. These areas are already under the army's control.

However, two weeks after India's nuclear test in Pokhran, the Pakistani government is still undecided on whether to conduct a nuclear test or not in reply to India's.
