The threats of DAESH continue to linger on in the region. Just today the Bajaur TTP group declared its allegiance to DAESH and so continues with their mission of death and terror. We appreciate the efforts of Pakistani security forces against terrorist organizations in the country. Responding to a question regarding the United States approving Pakistan’s request for arms sales, State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said, “The State Department did approve a possible foreign military sale for helicopters and associated equipment, parts, and support for an estimated cost of about $952 million.” “This proposed sale of helicopters and weapons systems will provide Pakistan with military capabilities in support of its counterterrorism operations inside the country,” Ms. Harf added. She also declared that the U.S has very close counterterrorism relationship with Pakistan for very good reasons. “There’s still a serious threat in Pakistan from terrorists who have either attacked the US or American soldiers in Afghanistan, who have tried to plot and plan against the West, including the US,” she said. Harf added that since the remnants of core al Qaeda are mainly in the tribal areas of Pakistan, the US is trying to help the country. “This is in our national security interest to do so,” the US State Department deputy spokesperson said.
