From UPI
''Pakistan, increasingly at odds with the United States over fighting al-Qaida, is reportedly moving forward with plans to build a 1,300-mile pipeline to carry natural gas from Iran.
Iran would provide Pakistan with 750 million cubic feet of gas a day from its massive offshore South Pars field in the Persian Gulf for the next 25 years, greatly alleviating Pakistan's worsening energy deficit.
Despite strong pressure from Washington to abandon the plan, Pakistan recently put out tenders for the project, said officials of state-run Inter State Gas Systems, which will oversee development of the pipeline inside Pakistan.''
