Pakistan 'to receive F-16s soon'

F-16 fighter jets

F-16 fact file
Pakistan has said it will take delivery "in the near future" of two US F-16 fighters after a landmark arms deal.

The US said in March it would resume sales - suspended by an embargo imposed in 1990 over Islamabad's nuclear weapons programme.

The F-16s are seen as a reward for support Pakistan has given for the US-led "war on terror".

India, which has fought three wars with Pakistan, has said the deal upsets the balance of power in the region.
