INTRODUCTION

The emergence of Pakistan as a sovereign and independent country in 1947, was a unique event of the history of the subcontinent. With the partition of the Indian sub-continent, two sovereign countries, India and Pakistan, came into existence. In the early 1950s the US had delineated a programme known as Marshal Plan which aimed at the recovery of Europe and extending assistance to various Asian countries. After the partition the US immediately extended an invitation to the Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan to visit Washington. In 1951 paved the way for the close relationship between Pakistan and the US.

On the 19th May,1954,Pakistan signed the Mutual Defence Assistance Agreement with the US.

INTRODUCTION

A year later in 1955, Pakistan joined the Baghdad Pact. By joining these two pacts Pakistan became Americas most allied ally in Asia.

Pak-US relations became strained once again in 1976-1977 when Pakistan desired to acquire nuclear technology.
Pakistan sincerely pursued its pro-west policy till 1958. In 1963 the US, ignoring Pakistans concern, extended further military assistance to India.

INTRODUCTION

During the 1971 crisis the US attitude despite Pakistan's positive role in US-China meeting, though generally sympathetic, send a wave of disappointment through out Pakistan. Pak-US relations became strained once again in 1976-1977 when Pakistan desired to acquire nuclear technology. In september,1981 an agreement was concluded between the two countries. The US agreed to provide a package of 3.2 billion dollars of economic and military aid. The aid was spread over the years 1982-87.

INTRODUCTION

In May,1988, however Pakistans nuclear activity again came under closed US scrutiny. In December,1988, the United States agreed to pay Pakistan $324.6 million from the Judgment Fund of the US Treasury a fund used to settle legal disputes that involved the US government as well as provide Pakistan with $140 million in goods, including agriculture commodities. One of the most serious results of the aid cut off for Pakistan was the no delivery fighter aircraft ordered in 1989. In October 1990. President Bush suspended aid to Pakistan because he was unable to make the necessary certification to congress.

INTRODUCTION

In 1992, congress partially relaxed the scope of the aid cut off and continuing support for nongovernmental organization (NGOs). The foreign Operations Appropriations act 1996 included an amendment that allowed a one-time release to Pakistan of 368 million in military.

PAKISTAN-US RELATIONS AND BILATERAL ISSUES:

US policy interest in Pakistan encompass a wide range of issues, including nuclear weapons and South Asian Regional stability; democratization and human rights economic reform and market opening; and efforts to counter terrorism. On March,25, 2000, President Clinton visited Pakistan as part of a one-week trip to South Asia, which included a one-day visit to Bangladesh and the majority of the time spend visiting India. In Islamabad, the President met with Chief Executive Gen. Pervaiz Musharraf and urged the military leadership to develop a time table and a roadmap for restoring democracy and to use its influence with the Taliban govt. of Afghanistan to close down terrorist training camps in that country.

General Musharraf reportedly agreed to take up issue of terrorist training camps with the Taliban. He announced that local elections will be held before Aug,2001, but give no timetable for national elections. During an address to the Indian parliament and a televised address to the Pakistani people, President Clinton urged both countries to reconsider their nuclear programs, create a proper climate for peace, and restart dialogue on Kashmir and other bilateral issues.

TERRORISM BETWEEN PAKISTAN & U.S.

AMBREEN IQBAL BB-1757

TERRORISM

Pakistan has a mixed record on terrorism . It has cooperated with the united states another counties. Pakistan has tolerated terrorists living and moving freely within its territory. Pakistan itself a victim of terrorism. It bears some responsibility for the current growth of terrorism in south Asia.

1993-97 In February 1995, Pakistan and u.s officials cooperated closely in apprehending in Islamabad the suspected mastermind of the new York world Trade center bombing.

In march 1995, two Americans on their way to work at the u.s consulate in Karachi were shot and killed.
In November 12 1997, four American employees of union Texas petroleum co. and their Pakistani driver were killed in a terrorist attack in Karachi. That killing may b linked to the November 10,conviction of Pakistan murder of two CIA employees in 1993.

KASHMIR ISSUE India continues to official Pakistan support fighting in Kashmir, While Pakistan maintains that it provides only political and moral support. India claimed that Pakistan was responsible for a series of terrorist attacks on Hindu pandit villages and areas in which families were killed and their villages were burned. In 1995 they have been killed by Pakistan based group Harakat-ul-Mujahidin (HUM). In October 2007 the HUM has been on the U.S state Departments list of foreign terrorist organizations. In 1999 hijacking to Afghanistan of an Indian Airlines plane. Many of the charges against Pakistan appear from the presence of several thousand Islamic fundamentalists from various countries who went to Pakistan to participate in the Afghanistan war and who remained in Peshawar area.

VIOLENCE IN PUNJAB & SINDH

In 1999 there was continuing terrorist-related violence in Pakistan as a result of domestic conflicts between sectarian and political groups. Much of the violence in Punjab province between the extremist Sunni group sipah-i-sahaba and sipah-i-muhammad Pakistan. In sindh province and particularly in Karachi violence and terrorist incidents between the government and Muttahida quami movement (MQM) political party. Which represents Urdu speaking.

THE DRAMATIC EVENTS IN PAKISTAN

Pervaiz musharraf violated towards the judiciary and Islamic extremists at a mosque in the heart of Islamabad, suicide bombing that have left 600 Pakistanis dead and Taliban backed extremists in the northwest part of the country. In December 27.2007 , two-time prime Minister Benazir Bhutto cast doubt on the future stability of the country and raise questions about U.S. policy options for help helping the growing unrest. Than Bhutto's death video footage of the attack shows Bhutto was probably killed by a bullet, rather than from a head fracture. But still it is question mark.

U.S. ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Washington should provide economic and military assistance programs to Pakistan. But improve the way it monitors and leverages this aid. The bush administrations decision to begin programming through the U.S. agency for international development (USAID) the $200 million annual direct cash transfer was a welcome development. Providing this aid in the form of socio-economic projects that directly impact the lives of average Pakistanis.

TRIBAL AREAS The bush Administrations commitment to provide $750 million over five years to develop the federally administered direction. USAID has implemented assistance programs in the FATA for several years. Including road building and school construction and through opium cultivation programs were successful in the 1980. USAID and the government of Japan are currently rebuilding 130 schools in the FATA. Political parties currently prohibited from operating the FATA, while a political agent, or federal bureaucrat, runs the affairs of each of the seven FATA agencies.

There are 12 seats reserved for FATA members in the national

NUCLEAR ISSUES One of the asset we have that is Abdul qadeer khan but A.Q.khan avoided engaging al-Qaida on nuclear issues. Recent media reports reveal that the U.S. has been assisting Pakistan in improving the safety and security of its nuclear weapons over the last six years. Former Deputy Director of the CIA stated that :

The Pakistanis are very serious about securing this nuclear material, but also that someone in pakistan is very intent on getting their hands on it

U.S. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

Develop a strategic Approach to defeating the Taliban and use tough diplomacy to bring Islamabad on Board While continuing large scale military and economic assistance programs to pakistan. The U.S. should use tough and reasoned diplomatic persuasion to convince Islamabad to work closely with the U.S. not only against ALQaeda but also against the Taliban emphasizing that such an approach will serve Pakistan's long term strategic interests.

Pakistans security apparatus will be increasingly unable to protect Pakistani citizens from terrorist violence. Leading to further destabilization of the country.

RECENT ISSUE On 11 February 2011 . Raymond David is an American terrorist who shot at 2 persons at Qartaba Chowk, Lahore and one of American consulate driver hit another bike rider while driving rashly on one way road. The motorcyclist Ubaidur Rehman was killed on the spot while other two injured Faizan Haider and an unidentified person succumbed to their injuries in the Services Hospital.

There is some question arises which make sure about suside bombing in Pakistan why Raymond Davis was travelling while having 9MM Gun with him in Lahore? Because According to Pakistani Law No diplomat is allowed to travel while carrying gun or any other explosive material in Pakistan where is the driver who killed innocent motorcyclist Ubaidur Rehman? Why after this no any suside bombing attempt happen in Pakistan?

CONCLUSION

As a over view I concluded that from 1993 till 2011. worldwide U.S make a Pakistan bad image as a terriost with the helping of agencies like Taliban etc by suside bombing but after this Raymond Davis a clear picture in front of us who is Pakistan's sincere friend and who is not.
