Pakistan could be building a new uranium enrichment complex, an analysis conducted by IHS Jane&#39;s Intelligence, a British publishing company specialising in military, aerospace and transportation topics, has said.&nbsp; 
 
The analysis was conducted by Jane&#39;s Intelligence review using satellite images taken by Airbus Defence and Space on 28 September, 2015. The review was done again on 18 April, 2016, Indian news agency PTI reported today. &nbsp; 
 
&quot;The construction of a new site, based in the town of Kahuta some thirty kilometres east of Islamabad, provides fresh evidence of how Pakistan is seeking to boost its atomic arsenal,&quot; &nbsp;th PTI report says.&nbsp; 
 
The goal, however, is inconsistent with the principles of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) the country is seeking to join, said the analysis.&nbsp;The country is believed to have 120 nuclear weapons, more than India, Israel and North Korea. 
 
&quot;The area of interest is approximately 1.2 hectares and is located within the secure area of the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), in the southwestern part of the complex,&quot; &nbsp;the report says.&nbsp; 
 
A 2015 report written by scholars at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the Stimson Center also noted that Pakistan could increase its stockpile by 20 warheads a year and have the world&#39;s third largest in a decade. 
 
Karl Dewey, a proliferation analyst at IHS Jane&#39;s added: &quot;It is sited within an established centrifuge facility, has strong security and shows some of the structural features of a possible new uranium enrichment facility. This makes it a strong candidate for a new centrifuge facility.&quot;&nbsp; 
 
The structure of the site is along the lines of facilities built by URENCO, a nuclear fuel company operating several uranium enrichment plants in Europe, the analysis said. 
 
&quot;This may be more than coincidence as AQ Khan, considered by many to be the founder of Pakistan&#39;s nuclear programme, worked at URENCO before stealing centrifuge designs and returning to Pakistan,&quot; said Charlie Cartwright, an imagery analyst for IHS Jane&#39;s.
