Washington, September 15: US has said it is taking “very seriously” admission by former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf that aid provided by it for the ‘war against terror’ was diverted during his tenure to strengthen defences against India, but refused to say whether any probe has been ordered.
A State Department official said the “allegations were not specific” and as of now the US was not aware of any such violations.
“This is former President who has made these allegations. We take seriously any allegations like this. But simply we don’t have the details to be able to respond to the allegations,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters when asked about the latest revelatioans by Musharraf.
