Washington: Pakistan, which has nuclear weapons, is working on long-range ballistic missiles that could eventually enable it to attack targets outside of South Asia, including the United States, according to a senior White House official on Thursday.
Pakistan’s actions, according to deputy national security adviser Jon Finer, generated “real questions” about its objectives.

In a speech to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Finer stated, “To be honest, we find it difficult to view Pakistan’s actions as anything other than a growing threat to the United States.”
