In other news from Pakistan, the New York Times reports the Pakistani military and intelligence agencies are concerned that the private US military contractor DynCorp is being used by Washington to develop a parallel network of security and intelligence personnel within Pakistan. The full extent of DynCorp’s role in Pakistan remains unclear, but part of its mission is to provide protection for American diplomats. Last month Pakistani police raided the offices of one DynCorp subcontractor. The entire workings of DynCorp within Pakistan are now under review by the Pakistani government. The criticism over DynCorp comes as the Obama administration prepares to expand US influence in Pakistan. Last week Congress approved sending $7.5 billion in nonmilitary aid to Pakistan over the next five years. The United States is also planning for a vast new embassy in Islamabad for about 1,000 people.
