Islamabad/Washington: A day after the US moved to suspend USD 800 million military aid to it, Pakistan army on Monday claimed it would continue to conduct operations without American assistance, even while saying it had no official intimation of Washington’s decision.

“We have no comments” on the move, said a spokesman for the Pakistani military in response to the reports, claiming, that US had suspended aid to Pak military.

“We have not received any official intimation or correspondence on the matter.”

The Pakistan Army, “in the past as well as at present, has conducted successful military operations using its own resources without any external support whatsoever,” the spokesman said.

Apparently, angered by Pakistan’s reluctance to go full throttle in the war against terror, White House Chief of Staff Tom Donilon confirmed that US has decided to with hold a third of its annual USD 2.7 billion assistance to Pakistan, reflecting months of bickering between the allies. (PTI)
