IRNA

New Delhi, Oct 3, IRNA - Indian Defense Minister George Fernandes 
terming Pakistan test firing of 290-km range surface to surface

was indigenous or clandestinely procured has to be looked into, local 
media reported here on Friday. 
Commenting on the test firing of Hataf-III `Ghaznavi`, Fernandes 
said, "It has to be seen whether the missile is their own or provided 
by North Korea or China." 
His remarks came as Pakistan announced the successful test firing 
of the missile capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads. 
The Indian defense minister said, "There is nothing special about 
it."
