Islamabad: The US has provided more than 50 sophisticated hand-held explosive detectors to Pakistan Army to combat terrorism, the American embassy said here on Wednesday.
The Fido X3 explosive detectors were provided by the embassy's Office of the Defense Representative Pakistan (ODRP) under a USD 128 million counter-explosive initiative.
The shipment of Fido devices is part of an ongoing USD 128 million initiative funded by the US government to assist the Pakistan Army in defeating illegal explosives, the embassy said in a statement.
The US-Pakistan counter-explosive assistance programme includes armoured vehicles, bomb disposal robots, training, and the construction of a laboratory allowing for detailed analysis of explosive samples.
In recognition of the sacrifices made by Pakistani military personnel in the line of duty, the US and Pakistan are also partners in a programme to support amputees, the statement said.
This partnership will provide specialised medical equipment and training to allow Pakistan Army medical technicians to manufacture prosthetic limbs to improve the quality of an amputee's life, it added.
