A US lawmaker has alleged that Pakistan, which
has been receiving billions of US dollars in aid, is using the money to support
America's enemy.
"Pakistan is a country that we lavish
with foreign aid, one that US officials repeatedly praise as an important
partner in the struggle against terrorism, and it appears they're using our
money to support our enemy," Congresswoman Lynn Woosley, said in her
speech on floor of the US House of Representatives.
"We are not just talking about the passive
enabling of terrorism. There are reports of Pakistani intelligence officials
recruiting and training suicide bombers and helping to plan major Taliban
offensives," she said referring to documents released by Wikileaks.
