US responsible if Pak fails in war on terror

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar

said that US would be responsible if Pakistan failed in war on terror (WOT). She was briefing the Parliamentary Committee on National Security (PCNS).

The minister told the committee that the US Senate has stopped $700 million aid to Pakistan. 'We are talking to other countries for the release of US aid.'

'Relations with US are on hold and would proceed further if Parliament allows. Pakistan has two written agreements regarding allied forces in Afghanistan, one is about Nato supply line and the other is about Ministry of Defence,' she added.

Hina noted that Defence Committee has clearly stated that relations with US, Isaf and Nato would be reviewed.
