Yes, if its hidden, its a well guarded secret. Noone will ever know. It is a possibilty.
Because there was no true defense against nuclear weapons. Once both sides had nuclear weapons, the only way to "protect" themselves from the other side was to have so many more nuclear weapons that even if their enemies used all of their nuclear weapons, there would still be nuclear weapons to shoot back with. That way, nobody would use nuclear weapons, because they could never actually "win" that way. This thought process was referred to as Mutually Assured Destruction, or MAD.
nuclear deterrence - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will attack you back with nuclear weaponsmutual assured destruction - the idea that if you attack me with nuclear weapons then I will totally destroy you with nuclear weapons and if I attack you with nuclear weapons then you will totally destroy me with nuclear weapons - thus any nuclear attack by either party will result in the certain destruction of both parties

Egypt is not believed or suspected to have nuclear weapons, or a nuclear weapons program, at this time (May 2009). See Related Link for a discussion of the world's nuclear powers.

Because nuclear weapons are the most deadly of all weapons and can kill hundreds of thousands of people at once. Also, people will always get suspicious if a country is secretly making nuclear weapons e.g. Iran and USA. IF one country wants to build nuclear weapons then their neigh ours would want to too
Nuclear weapons are weapons which are fueled by nuclear energy. Examples of weapons that can be fueled by nuclear energy are missile warheads and bombs.
I suspect you mean countries with nuclear weapons. If so they are: Britain France China (PRC) USA Russia India Pakistan North Korea There is strong evidence that Israel has nuclear weapons. Google "The vela incident". There is also suspicion that Ukraine may have inherited some weapons when the USSR Black Sea fleet was marooned in Sevastopol at the breakup of the USSR. Iran is almost certainly working towards nuclear weapons, and if they get them, they will use them.
Yes, they are nuclear weapons.
