Pakistani arms at UK expo

Letter September 16, 2011
‘Daisy cutters’ are not cluster bombs.

WASHINGTON, PA, US: This is with reference to your report of September 16 titled “Pakistan pavilion shut down after banned weapons ads caught at UK expo”.

‘Daisy cutters’ are not cluster bombs. They are 15,000 lb, single bombs, originally used to flatten a forest into a helicopter landing pad. Your article is professional, well-written and useful, apart from your ill-informed final paragraph of political-speak.
