(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - August 1, 2011:

U.S. being preoccupied with its debt crisis during entire month of July, 2011 was unable to entertain ISI Head, Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha’s US visit and withheld $800 million economy and military aid with some exceptions.


The U.S. decision to defer nearly $800 million in counterterrorism funding to Pakistan in recent weeks was a necessary step, given the ejection of U.S. military trainers from Pakistan, ongoing concerns over the misuse of U.S. aid dollars, and mounting evidence of Pakistani complicity with insurgent groups.


It is believed on

General Ahmad Shuja Pasha's return from U.S.,

and unable regain the flow of U.S. aid with Washington, the Pakistani

were

displeased and

took some retaliatory actions against Obama

administration with immediate effect for CIA to close shop and imposed restrictions on American embassy staff

travel

movements in Pakistan. The top US military chief warned that US-Pakistan military-to-military ties were at a “very difficult” crossroads, allowing that a path to progress on that front was not yet clear.
