WASHINGTON: The United States and Europe must give Pakistan four to five billion dollars in urgent aid or risk seeing the nuclear-armed country slip into chaos, <b>Democratic Senator John Kerry and Republican former senator Chuck Hagel said on Tuesday</b>.
<b>The senators, now chair of Atlantic Council think tank</b>, were to release a formal report on Wednesday appealing for international help to stabilise Pakistan.
âIf we fail, we face a truly frightening prospect: terrorist sanctuary, economic meltdown, and spiralling radicalism, all in a nation with 170 million inhabitants and a full arsenal of nuclear weapons,â Kerry said in a statement released by the council.
<b>Kerry said he and Republican Senator Richard Lugar would soon introduce legislation aiming to provide Pakistan with $7.5 billion in non-military aid over five years.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
