Washington, Jun 18 (PTI) Pakistan has failed to demonstrate its real commitment to partner with the US in the war against terrorism, a top American lawmaker has said, echoing his colleagues' calls for reviewing the aid to Islamabad.

"Although Pakistan has received billions of dollars in US military assistance, and has assigned a considerable portion of its forces to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, it has failed to demonstrate in fundamental ways a real commitment to partnership with the US in pursuing threats to both of our Nations," Congressman Norman Dicks said.

"In Pakistan, the fact that Osama bin Laden was ultimately found in Abbottabad, where he had been hiding for years in a compound in the immediate proximity of senior Pakistani military officials, calls into question either the extent of Pakistani commitment to partnership with the US or the competence of Pakistani officials," Dicks said.
