US may delay arms shipment to Pakistan amid allegations
WASHINGTON. Feb 16: The Clinton administration said on Thursday it was discussing with Congress how to proceed with delivery of military equipment to Pakistan.
Islamabad is developing nuclear weapons, reports Reuter.
The Washington Post re-erted that the administra-n was considering delaying a planned shipment of arms because of Pakistan's suspected acquisition of sensitive nuclear equipment from China last year.
Under the so called Brown Amendment. Congress authorised the release to Pakistan of 368 million dollar of equipment Islamabad bought before 1990. when Washington stopped military cooperation because of Pakistan's alleged nuclear arms plans.
"We are qow working with the Congress in an attempt to
decide how to proceed in Implementing the amendment's various provisions' State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said.
There has been some discussion in the Congress about this, and 1 think we certainly- want to continue our discussions with the Congress and with the government of Pakistan, he added.
Several members of Congress have demanded that Implementation of the Brown Amendment be held up following reports that Pakistan purchased 5.000 Cliinese ring magnets, used in gas centrifuges that enrich uranium.
US officials say they have discussed the allegation with China and Pakistan both of which have denied the transaction'.
The Washington Post quoted US officials and
diplomatic sources as saying deputy national security adviser Samuel Berger warned Pakistan during a visit there two weeks ago that the allegations could hold up the arms shipment.
The shipment would include naval patrol aircraft, harpoon missiles Howitzers and various spare part and equipment. But not F-16 fighters also purchased by Pakistan — that the United States is trying to sell to a third country.
Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon said: This whole issue is being reviewed. We always review arms sales in light of Information we have at the time."
The United States has not so far made an officials determination" that China sold Pakistan the ring magnets — a move that would require the administration to impose sanctions on Beijing.
