Pasban atomic bomb demostration

THROUGH THE STREETS OF KARACHI, a mock missile is paraded by Pasban, a youth wing of Pakistan's main fundamentalist party, Jamaat-e-Islami. The parade took place in February 1999 on a day of solidarity with Kashmiris in India-administered Kashmir. Such enthusiasm for nuclear weapons is widespread, though not universal, in both India and Pakistan. Image: AAMIR QURESHI AFP Photo/Corbis
