ISLAMABAD - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced a raft of aid projects for Pakistan on Monday aimed at defusing anti-American sentiment and shoring up anti-terrorism efforts.
Clinton arrived in the capital on Sunday en route to a donor conference in Kabul, calling for "additional measures" by Pakistan to combat militant groups on its soil believed to be behind attacks on the United States and Afghanistan.
