 Existence of BLACK-WATER in
Pakistan
 There are reasons for the construction of a 'mini-
Pentagon' in Pakistan:
1. The cornerstone of American global policy
remains the containment of China.
2. Both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers and
the US policy makers feel that there should
not only be a new equation between the two
but they want to monitor their ‘nuclear assets’
from a close range.
3. The need to coordinate the international effort on
the ‘war against terror’ provides an
explanation acceptable to the world.

to complete their dirty plans in Muslim and
