US aid goes to LETe directly, Zardarey sees red

The US Senate today approved a USD 2.2 bn donation to Pakisthan as part of their ongoing aid programme. But two conditions that they plan to enforce have left the Pakisthani PM Zardarey fuming. One, the donation will be in the form of thermonuclear warheads and two, these will be shipped directly to Leshkar E Teiba , now a banned government agency in Pakisthan. An analysis of the utilisation of the previous aid package revealed that a large chunk of the funds were used up in administrative costs and the beneficiaries, Al kaeda and LETe saw barely half the money allotted for the attacks they planned to carry out. PM Zardarey denied this and said he would take this up with the US President during his upcoming visit to the States.
Meanwhile, former civil servant and current head of LETe, Zaeed, who is credited with having masterminded the 26/11 attacks, was overjoyed at the US Senate's decision. "First good news all day" he said, after paying Rs 500/- when the Lahore HC decided that the 11th dossier of evidence from New Delhi was sufficient to incriminate him, and sentenced him to pay a fine.
