Pak. denial

By Amit Baruah

ISLAMABAD, MAY 24. Pakistan today denied reports quoting American officials that Islamabad was planning another nuclear test. The denial came four days before the second anniversary of Pakistan's nuclear tests on May 28.

``Pakistan has declared a unilateral moratorium on testing and the report has no foundation whatsoever,'' he maintained.
