UK plans to spend £500m in Pakistan to fight extremism says a report in scotsman.com.
BRITAIN is to spend nearly £500m on schools and hospitals in Pakistan in a bid to quell the extremist forces blamed for the attacks in Mumbai last month.
Ministers will outline their plans in Glasgow this week to double the aid already given to Pakistan.
Much of the cash will be spent on improving education in the border areas of the country to tackle the near non-existent levels of schooling.
The sum was agreed well before the attacks on Mumbai last month, but the atrocity in India has served to focus more attention on the need to counter extremist influences in Pakistan.
Great ideaaaa.....
pakis will be getting more money for terrorists.
They can buy more sophisticated weapons and provide more sophisticated training to terrorists.
The British government is living in a fool's paradise,if they think even a negligible part of this aid to pakis is going to be spend on so-called schools and hospitals of pakistan.
