Regular sorties by US military aircraft raise concern in Islamabad

ISLAMABAD - Residents of Islamabad are concerned by the frequent arrival and take-off of heavy US cargo aircrafts.

The huge star lifters, used by the US Air Force and Army to transport troops and heavy loads, have been flying in and out of the Benazir International Airport (BIAI) on a regular basis over the past few days.

Neither the CAA nor the Army has come out with any explanation regarding the operation of these US cargo aircrafts.

Despite the wide scale concerns over the US’ plans to expand its presence in Pakistan, no official comment was available on the issue, The Nation reports. (ANI)
