Yes knak at least for Pakistan. According to some other articles that I have read all Muslims do not agree exactly when the beginning of the new year starts. It could vary by a day. So if they don't know or cannot agree, we denifitely cannot say for sure.

ISLAMABAD: The Bush administration and majority of the Congress members are supportive of weapon’s sale to Pakistan, including P-3 maritime surveillance aircraft and harpoon anti-ship missiles.
The US-Pakistan security ties, which came to a halt after 1990 aid cut-off, have improved after Islamabad’s role in the US-led anti-terrorism campaign.
Giving details about Pakistan-US security co-operation, a diplomatic source said six C-130s from Lockheed Martin for about 75 million dollars under a Foreign Military Financing grant is also on the cards.
The Pentagon had also notified Congress of an additional three pending major arms sales to Pakistan, which are worth more than 300 million dollars. The six air surveillance, six air traffic control radars, and 40 Bell 407 helicopters are meant to enhance Pakistan’s ability to support Operation Enduring Freedom and to secure its borders.
The US Congress also was informed of another pending foreign military sale agreement worth 155 million dollars. Under this deal Pakistan is to receive six Aerostat surveillance radars, marking the first major arms sales to Pakistan in more than a decade.
A high-level US-Pakistan Defence Consultative Group - moribund since 1997 - met in September 2003 and included high-level discussions of military cooperation, security assistance and anti-terrorism.
