Pakistan denies WMDs except nukes amid policy claim
The Foreign Ministry stated Pakistan has no weapons of mass destruction and rejects belief in any form of them except nuclear arms. Firefighters in training wrongly thought they had permission and torched a vacant house owned by the police chief, who planned to repair it for his parents in Elma, Washington. Rev William Keller of Muncie Indiana, longtime National Day of Prayer leader, says priests of other faiths may attend but cannot use the microphone to pray, as he does not believe in other gods.
