India Says U.S. to Sell F-16s Fighters to Pakistan Fri Mar 25, 2005 11:19 AM ET
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - President Bush telephoned Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday to tell him that the United States had decided to allow the sale of F-16 fighters to Pakistan, a spokesman for Singh said. "The prime minister expressed India's great disappointment at the decision which could have negative consequences for India's security environment," Sanjaya Baru, spokesman for the prime minister's office, told Reuters.
Washington blocked sales of F-16s to Pakistan in 1990 as a sanction against its nuclear program.
