Any misuse of arms supplied to Pak will be probed: US

New Delhi, Apr 19 (PTI) Taking note of India's concerns,
the United States Monday warned Pakistan that any "misuse" of
weapons supplied to it will be investigated and the US
Congress will take it "seriously".

"We will look into it very seriously," US Ambassador to
India Timothy J Roemer told reporters here, asserting that
arms supplied to Pakistan should be used only for the purpose
mentioned in the agreement between the two countries.
The envoy's comments came just days after Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh, during his meeting with US President
Barack Obama last week, voiced apprehensions about misuse of
US military supplies to Pakistan.
Singh's apprehensions had prompted Obama to assure him
that India's concerns in this regard would be kept in mind
while dealing with the issue.
"...There are allegations of misuse of weapons given to
Pakistan for other purposes. We will investigate it, Congress
will take the issue seriously," Roemer said.
The envoy also maintained that before the US undertook
the strategic dialogue with Pakistan last month, his country
reached out to India to seek its "concerns and perspective".
Roemer said even after the strategic dialogue was over,
his country sought India's views on the crucial issues
pertaining to the Af-Pak situation and the region as whole.
