Pakistan hits out at Israel-India Phalcons radar deal ISLAMABAD, Monday (AFP) Pakistan criticised Israel's decision to approve the sale of three Phalcon airborne early warning radar systems to India, saying it would accentuate the strategic imbalance in South Asia. "The sales of sophisticated weapons to India will accentuate strategic and conventional imbalance in South Asia," foreign office spokesman Masood Khan told state television. Israel's security cabinet approved the 1.1 billion dollar deal which was lined up during Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to India in September. It was signed after a go-ahead from the United States which had earlier blocked the sale. "Such transactions undermine the spirit of peace and stability being pushed by Pakistan, India and the international community in the region," Khan said. |
