US to keep aid flow to Pakistan uninterrupted

NEW YORK, May 11: Although CIA and Pakistan's sleuth agency ISI are still to resolve the vexing question of America's access to Osama bin-Laden's three widows the Obama administration yesterday made it clear to keep the flow of billions of dollars to Pakistan uninterrupted despite calls to contrary at the Capitol Hill, home to the US Congress. Joeh Boehner, Speaker of the House of Representatives, said billions of dollars provided over the past decade has been expensive but worth it arguing that any discussion on restricting aid would be premature. The Speaker said it is a moment when we need to look at each other in the eyes and decide are we real allies, an analyst quoted him as saying. This relation is too important to walk away from the White House press secretary commented. The White House maintains that Pakistan is even more important in its own right than in it terms of dealing with Talebans. Osama's widows have identified as Um Hamza, or mother of Hamza, who is from Saudi Arabia, Um Khalid or mother of Khaled is also from Saudi Arabia and the third one is from Yemen and her name is Amal al-Saddah. Osama married five times. Omar bin-Laden, one of Osama's sons who once berated his father for terrorism accused America for violating its own basic principles by killing an unarmed man and disposing his remains in the sea. Religious leaders in Muslim countries as well in Europe including Archbishop of Canterburry expressed sorrow and anger at the killing of an unarmed man. The analysts are saying access to Osama's widows will not yield any information as they are not used to speaking to men outside their family as they maintained strict purdah. CIA officials are insisting on access to widows saying it would ease the tense ties it is having with ISI. ISI director Lt.Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha and his boss Army Chief Gen. Kayani are seething with anger at not being informed about the US raid. The anger and hurt within Pakistan military and intelligence service over Americaz action against bin-Laden will leave cooperation bumpy for sometime, foreign diplomats and analysts predicted, the New York Times in a report said. Cameron Munter, American ambassador to Pakistan called on the government to engage in a dialogue about the way forward. We have common goals and we need to work closely to articulate these commong goals clearly, the ambassador was quoted as saying. The US is suffering from the complex question of "you cant trust them and you cant abandon them". The administration officials are saying that the present predizament would soon be overcome and the relationship between the US and Pakistan would grow stronger in days ahead.
