The US has requested Pakistan to give land to undertake repair work of its aircraft involved in various operations in the region, a media report said Wednesday.

David T. Johnson, assistant secretary for Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (BINLEA), said Pakistan has agreed to give land for the purpose.


He said his administration was concerned over the recent increase in poppy cultivation in Afghanistan and would give $150 million to Pakistan to curb drug trafficking.


The US has already started a programme to train Pakistani security officials, the Online news agency reported citing the official.


Washington was also interested in strengthening the security of the border areas of Pakistan, by constructing roads and bridges, he told the media after his meeting with the Pakistani officials at the US embassy here.


The official said drugs are a source of income for the militants, who keep close ties with the Afghan drug lords.

fishy what fishy? Zardari will surely enjoy the money

 

[TaimiKhan]

If the news item is correct in what it is saying, it means they need some facility for landing and maintenance of helicopters or aircraft, which are being used in the anti-drug operations in Afghanistan, some area being border with Afghanistan.

The request has been done by a person who is involved in anti-drug operations and the news items is also talking about anti-drug operations.

So no need to panic or get fishy

 

[PakistaniPacifist]

If this is true, Pakistan and its citizens must make sure under no circumstances will American military be able to use it's land for any purposes.

There were recent talks btw Pakistan and U.S.A. Few matters has been disclosed but many things and pacts are secret...so we don't know everything. I seriously doubt about PAF willing to give any sensitive base or location to U.S. Just few F-16's doesn't means that americans do what ever they want!

Pakistan will be demanding further commitments from US. Now 18 F16 are not enough
