Many have blamed the attacks on sources in Pakistan.Mubarakmand's statements were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, which posted a report on its website.The statements originally were published in the Roznama Express newspaper in Pakistan, said MEMRI, the which monitors and reports on the media in the Middle East.‘Our Shaheen missiles hit targets [during testing]; the world recognized their delivery system,’ said Mubrakmand. ‘None of India's cities can remain safe from our missiles. ... Pakistan's width is less than India's, which is 1,200 to 1,400 kilometers. Therefore, no corner of India is safe from the Shaheen II.‘We have also developed cruise missiles,’ he said. ‘And Pakistan is the fourth country in the world to have cruise missiles.’The scientist said Pakistan should take an authoritative position in discussions with India.‘We should talk to India strongly. ... Even while giving the message of friendship, we should make [Indians] realize that we are not weak,’ he said. ‘Being a small nation, if we abandon the option ... to launch a nuclear attack, then there won’t be any use of the second option. This way you end one advantage.’‘Our missile system is ready, [and] can be fired in only 10 minutes – they are on the launchers,’ he said…”
