A Mumbai based Indian newspaper, Daily News & Analysis (DNA), on Monday, reported that Pakistan had opend up a USD 250 million credit line for Colombo to purchase 40 tanks, and many other offensive systems from Pakistan. The move has raised several `new uncomfortable questions` for New Delhi, the report said. Bashir Wali, a former director of Pakistan`s Intelligence Bureau and Pakistan`s High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, has taken a personal interest in the move, the paper alleged.
`India has received requests for such assistance from Sri Lanka in the past. But fear of hurting Tamil sentiments and getting mangled in island nation`s fortunes has kept India away,` the paper said.
The DNA report further said that the London-based Jane`s Defence Weekly, in a recent article, `spoke of only about $60 million worth military assistance from Pakistan to Sri Lanka.`
`The [Sri Lankan] Army has asked for 10 Baktar Shikan anti-tank guided missile weapon systems, 300 standard/tandem warheads and two training simulators,` the paper said.
Pakistan stepping the credit line up to $250 million has raised `several new uncomfortable questions for India, the paper said.
Publicly known demand from the SLA has only been for about $20 million worth from Pakistan.
The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) has requirement worth $38.1 million, according to the Jane`s report, the paper said.

I would like to see the Pakistan Military Hardware Menu Card!
SLA had 18 Tanks bfr the CFA! They then increased that number to 35 or so... Now 40 More... Hmmm... interesting!
GOSL makes its Dvora's with German engines and has made over 100 mine protection Trucks..
They should start making more weapons!
Does anyone know how many Multi Barrel Rocket Launchers SLA has?? |

Birds of a feather.
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Israel are in the forefront of respecting human rights, bombing their persecuted communities. Pakistan bombed its minorities in former East Pakistan, Sri Lanka Tamils living in Northeast Province and Israel Palestians.
Sri Lanka facilitated Pakistan bomb former East Pakistan to kill their Bangalese minorities. Pakistan in turn gives credit facilities to SL to buy arms to bomb and kill its minorities, Tamils.
East Pakistan seceded to become independent Bangladesh.
Tamils are forced to secede by the extremist SLG and its supporters JVP/JHU.
Israel sells fighter jets and gun boats, devores to Sri Lanka to destroy Tamils and harass Indian and SL Tamil fishemen.
