On Monday, suspicion rose that Pakistan may have leaked vital information about the CIA chief in Islamabad to the country’s local media. Pakistan is allegedly angered because of the raid that killed international terrorist Osama bin Laden.

The United States government said that there are no plans yet of pulling out the spy chief but the incident may worsen their already strained relationship with Pakistan. The problems started when the U.S. Navy SEALs swooped down and attacked a compound leading to the death of bin Laden, without Pakistan’s permission. Pakistan’s spy agency and the CIA have long doubted each other’s integrity but the death of the terrorist had laid it bare.

Back in Pakistan, the Pakistani military and intelligence have been bombarded with negative criticism for their failure in stopping U.S. operations in Pakistan. A lot of Pakistani citizens saw the raid as a clear violation of their sovereignty although they are extremely pleased with bin Laden’s death. They say that the end does not justify the means.

U.S. officials have already said that they intentionally did not tell the Pakistani government of their plans to attack bin Laden due to the fear that someone might tip off the Al-Qaida leader. Moreover, they said that the helicopters they used during the operations had radar-evading technology in order for them to enter Pakistan undetected.

Yousuf Rasa Gilani, Prime Minister of Pakistan, defended the country’s military services on Monday. He told the Parliament that although Pakistan failed to track down bin Laden, they are not the only one to blame. He further said that it is disingenuous for the U.S. to have considered that they are covering up al-Qaida and its leader.

Pakistani intelligence agency denied that they leaked the CIA chief’s name to local media.

The Boeing Company had finalized their $5.3 billion agreement with the U.S Navy to create 124 F/A-18 fighter jets, as well as electronic attack planes. The deal extends for four years, which is expected to make over $600 million savings.

Boeing and the Pentagon announced the deal on Tuesday, which requires the Boeing Company to deliver 66 F/A-18 “Super Hornet” fighters and 58 EA-18G airframes that are intended for electronic attacks to the U.S Navy from year 2012 to 2015.

According to the Pentagon, the multiyear deal was based on a fixed-price terms with additional incentive fees. Since it is a fixed-price term, the government will not be charged with extra fee if there are any cost overruns.

Boeing also made a $249 million contract for their F/A-18 fighters to have logistics support. These F/A 18 fighter jets operate worldwide including the progressing missions in Afghanistan.

Since the agreement will run for four years, this will save them more than $600 million in costs, for they would be able to buy the materials in bulk and allow their suppliers to plan ahead of time. This will make the production more efficient as opposed to a single-year contract.

The agreement is based on a $42.7 million price per plane, but the engine and other government-furnished equipment is not included in the price.

Boeing is the largest aircraft manufacturer around the world and this contract is the third multiyear agreement that Boeing Company has signed with the U.S Navy for their F/A-18 fighter jets.
