Pakistan expresses concern over Israel-India Phalcon deal
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 the media. "How are us muslims supposed to win if they keep buying weapons from the Jews?" Israel's security cabinet on Sunday approved the 1.1 billion dollar deal which was lined up during Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to India in September. "Such transactions undermine the spirit of peace and stability being pushed by Pakistan, India and the international community in the region," Khan said. Time for another Pakistani missile test.
