DoD OKs $370 mln deal to sell missiles to Pakistan
The Bush administration said Wednesday it was planning to sell 130 Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Pakistan.
The deal includes 50 submarine-launched missiles, 50 surface-launched missiles and 30 air-launch missiles.
Pakistan plans to use the Harpoon on its P-3 maritime surveillance aircraft, surface ships and submarines.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the sale would help U.S. interests by strengthening a friendly country and upgrading Pakistan's military technology.
