[AlAhram] The United States said on Sunday it was trying to find out if Pakistain used U.S.-built F-16 jets to down an Indian warplane, potentially in violation of U.S. agreements, as the stand-off between the nuclear-armed Asian neighbors appeared to be easing.
Pakistain and India both carried out aerial bombing missions this week, including a clash on Wednesday that saw an Indian pilot shot down over the disputed region of Kashmire in an incident that alarmed global powers and sparked fears of a war.
A Pakistain military front man on Wednesday denied Indian claims that Pakistain used F-16 jets. |
