PAKISTAN-Pak-US Military Relationship in 1980s

PAKISTAN Pak-US Military Relationship in 1980s Babar Ali SINCE at least October last year, a great deal of new information has been made public about the military relationship between the United States and Pakistan. Most of the information has come into the open thanks to a couple of scholars working on Pakistan, who while residing in North America have had access to information from US sources, many of which are confidential. Apart from these scholars, a number of newspapers and periodicals have also reported on recent developments in the relationship. The information that has come to light is of extreme importance, to say the least. Before an attempt is made to comment on the military relationship between the US and Pakistan, I will present the new evidence to the readers of this column so that they are made aware of the dimensions of the relationship.
