Pakistan has completed an intermediate-range Shaheen-III ballistic missile and plans to test the nuclear-capable missile soon, the Pakistani newspaper Nawa-i-Waqt reported today (see GSN, Feb. 19).  Officials had planned to test the missile on May 18 but postponed the test, according to Nawa-i-Waqt.  The solid-fuel Shaheen-III has a range of more than 2,500 kilometers and can carry a 1,000-kilogram payload (Rawalpindi Nawa-i-Waqt/BBC Monitoring, May 21).
