Pakistani premier 'concerned' over US aid cut
None
Pakistan's prime minister expressed concern Wednesday over US plans to suspend around $800 million in military aid to his country, saying it could damage Pakistan's fight against Islamist militants and further endanger the world.
Yousuf Raza Gilani's comments suggest Pakistan's civilian leaders are, at least publicly, more wary of the cuts than the Pakistani army, which operates largely beyond civilian control and has downplayed the aid issue. They also came as Pakistan's spy chief headed to Washington for meetings Wednesday. (AP)
