US committee bill places conditions upon aid to Pakistan
2012-05-11
[Dawn] The US House Armed Services Committee has placed strict conditions on the financial and military assistance being given out to Pakistain.

The committee, in the defence budget bill, asked Pakistain to openly support America in the war against terror. It further asked Pakistain to stop the supply of kabooms used in IED's to Afghanistan.

The American authorities maintained that the explosives, that were being sent to Afghanistan via Pakistain, were responsible for the deaths and injuries to American troops and that this situation is totally unacceptable to the US.

The said defence budget bill, that already is supported by the representatives of the Republican and Democratic parties, would be presented in the next session.

#3  There is very, very little NOT known about where the Ammonium Nitrite (ANFO) is manufactured in Pakistan. Also well known are the types of bags and markings, origins, shippers, percentage of actual agricultural use... and to what agri locations. The smuggling routes are also known. Unfortunately, there is very, very little done about any of it.
