Following a meeting of its corps commanders, the army - the country's most powerful institution, long accustomed to keeping the political class in line - expressed "serious concern" over what it said were the "national security" implications of the aid package. The statement said that army chief General Ashfaq Kayani had also "reiterated that Pakistan is a sovereign state and has all the rights to analyze...
