The missile, named Babur or Hatf VII, has a range of 700 kilometers (434 miles) and is capable of carrying various types of warheads, including nuclear, the military-run Inter-Services Public Relations Directorate said.

For her part, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Democrat, joked that she thinks it would be illegal to name her husband secretary of state if she becomes president, as she said some have asked her to do. But she said she "can make him ambassador to the world, because we have a lot of work to do to get our country back in the standing it should be.""
