US and Pakistan renew intelligence co-operation

7/1/2009

The New York Times reported on 29 June that there was increased intelligence co-operation between the United States and Pakistan, citing officials in both countries.

The article stated that the US had resumed surveillance drone flights over Pakistan's tribal areas "to provide Pakistani commanders with a wide array of videos and other information on militants". The news report also claimed that this increased intelligence sharing comes as Washington is accelerating the delivery of "transport helicopters, body armour and other equipment" to Pakistan ahead of its imminent offensive against Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud in South Waziristan tribal agency.
