Islamabad, Nov 29, IRNA -- Pakistan conducted a test of its nuclear- 
capable ballistic missile on Monday as part of efforts to boost its 
defenses, the state-run television reported. 
"A successful test of the indigenously surface-to-surface solid- 
fuel missile Hatf-III Ghaznavi, with a range of 290 kilometers, was
