The United States today said it is taking seriously revelations by former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf that aid provided by America for the war against terrorism was diverted during his tenure to strengthen defences against India.
A state department official said the US takes all such allegations seriously and there is a procedure to investigate any violation, diversion of its aid by any country.
But the official refused to confirm if any investigation in this regard was in place with respect to Pakistan.
At the same time, he said, the allegations were not specific and as of now the US was not aware of any such violations.
"This is a former president who has made these allegations. We take seriously any allegations like this. But we simply don't have the details to be able to respond to the allegations," State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters at his daily press briefing when asked about the latest revelation from Musharraf.
In an interview to a Pakistani news channel, Musharraf admitted that he had violated the rules governing the use of the military aid, but justified his action, saying he had "acted in the best interest of Pakistan".
Forget Mumbai, my man, how much of that money ended up arming, training and supporting the very jihadis who’re killing our guys in Afghanistan.
That’s the real story here.
>>to mass troops
Just some facts.
On December 12 2001, jihadis from Pakistan attacked the Indian Parliament, causing India to build up troops.
I guess that American aid to Pakistan has come into your pockets again, eh?
Hey, when you’re on a roll, why stop :>>
It has never been conclusively proven wh the attackers were or that any government sponsored tehm. As some noted at the time, there are possible links to the Indian government.
>>there are possible links to the Indian government.
Yea, that was the target, so technically speaking in a crawdaddying lawyerly type of a way, there are links!
Now, what’s your opinion about the links concerning 911 to the USG?
Sauce/Goose/Gander.
At this point, if you refuse to admit that the jihadi movement against India is a wholly sponsored arm of the Pakistani State, then I will leave you to your happy fantasies.
There is no one left in the world that does not recieve a percentage of our labor.
Has there ever been a Pakistani that told the truth about anything. I think not.
