Pakistani PM expresses concern over US aid cut
2011-07-14
(KUNA) - Pak Prime Minister on Wednesday -- expressing concern over the US decision to cut military aid to the country -- said that it will affect the ongoing fight against terrorism.

The United States on Monday announced its plan to suspend around USD 800 million in military aid to Pakistain. Addressing a presser in Southwestern Baluchistan province, Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani
... Pakistain's erstwhile current prime minister, whose occasional feats of mental gymnastics can be awe-inspiring ...
Gilani said he was worried about the US decision.

"Though this is our own war, we are fighting the war for the entire world, for the peace and prosperity and progress of the whole world", said the Premier, adding, "We are concerned over this issue of aid because we are in the middle of the war against terrorism and extremism".

The remarks of Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani came as General Shuja Pasha, head of Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), headed to the United States to discuss matters related to intelligence sharing and, apparently, the cut in aid as well.
