As for the volcanoes mention in ‘All Things Pakistan’, they are mud volcanoes, that do not spew lava. I have visited the very place only recently, and there are no signs of lava flows there.

Having said that, your basic premise that nuclear explosions could lead to earthquakes is something to think about. I remember that few months after the nuclear tests in Chaghi, there was a earthquake in Afghanistan, and some Indian scientists tried to link these two events. And let’s not forget that there was an earthquake in Bhuj, Gujarat about an year or so after the Pokhran nuclear tests conducted by India.

i see us in the “state of headless chickens” trying to perform independently instead teaming up… the only reason for that i feel is personal hidden agendas of gaining power and fame…

i hope we all can join hands and become a Nation that the Quaid wanted us to be… with unity, faith and disciplin and inly way to achieve is work, work, and work hard…

Hope your blog is read across the world and not only in Pakistan, as this might well be one unforeseen consequence of the menace called nuclear testing/bombs.

Specific to Pakistan, I hope people do not brush this argument aside in the euphoria of being the first Islamic nuclear armed country!
