Washington: The United States has cut aid for Pakistan amid accusations that the Islamabad aided anti-US militants.
According to report on civilian efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan that was sent to congressional offices, the Congress backed off from its 2009 promise to triple non-military aid to Pakistan over five years.
It said, however, that the Obama administration intended for assistance to Islamabad to continue and wants to focus on “signature” projects in Pakistan. US officials are currently looking to select a major new infrastructure project “that would both contribute to power generation and water management” in Pakistan, it said.
