US to give $100m aid
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced plans for US humanitarian aid to Pakistan, part of the administration's new strategy for countering the appeal of Taliban militants in the nuclear-armed American ally.
Clinton announced the aid package later yesterday at the White House, which would amount to about $100 million to help Pakistani refugees who have fled fighting in the country's Swat Valley and are living in squalid tent cities.
