France puts sale of heavy military hardware to Pakistan on hold
France said Friday it has put on hold the sale of heavy military equipment to Pakistan and awaits an explanation on its spy agency's role in the 2008 Mumbai terror strike and in providing a safe haven for Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a US strike May 2.
It has also expressed the hope that Pakistan's dialogue with US on terrorism would throw light on questions that have cropped up in the wake of Osama's killing on its soil, reported IANS.
French Defence Minister Gerard Longuet told reporters here in New Delhi that Osama's killing in Abbottabad, close to capital Islamabad, had raised a lot of questions that needed answers.
Though Longuet did not name the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), he was alluding to the suspected role of the Pakistan's spy agency in sheltering Osama.
On the sale of military equipment to Pakistan by France, Longuet said till the time Pakistan's clarifications were not satisfactory, it would not sell heavy defence hardware.
"This point was raised during the bilateral meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in Paris recently. I can tell you that France is only selling Pakistan equipment that can be used for electronic interception to fight terror," the French defence minister, who wound up his two-day visit to India, said.
"In fact, heavy military equipment is not being sold. We have discouraged any request from Pakistan for heavy equipment," he added.
Asked about the recent revelations on ISI's involvement with the 26/11 Mumbai terror strike, Longuet said: "Terror cannot be a weapon of anybody or any government."
"After the death of Osama bin Laden, Pakistan should be given an opportunity to explain its position vis-a-vis terrorism," he added.
Noting that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was in Islamabad Friday, Longuet said France was keenly watching the discussions between the US and Pakistan on terrorism and was awaiting the outcomes of the talks.

China urges U.S. companies to stop arms sales to Taiwan
So china is also a sad country ?? I think this is also a ultimate proof
Then what is this ?
China urges U.S. companies to stop arms sales to Taiwan
So what exactly are we buying from France that required India to go out of the way to ask France to stop supplying arms to Pakistan. What a joke.

We've already seen the quality that's why we had to change the Asian map in 1971. Now don't talk about war you're not in that position right now.

New Recruit
We had a similar chance and you know what we did? Benazir Bhutto gifted a list of names, addresses and other details to her Indian counterpart to eliminate the resistance. We had another chance in Kargil and you know what we did? We agreed for a cease fire from a position of strength, albeit under international pressure, but that's what we did!
