Pakistan has reached a deal worth over $4 billion to sell military equipment to the Libyan National Army, four Pakistani officials said. The deal, one of Pakistan's largest-ever weapons sales, was finalised after a meeting last week between Pakistan military chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Saddam Khalifa Haftar, deputy commander-in-chief of the LNA, in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, said the four officials. A copy of the deal seen by Reuters before its finalisation listed the purchase of 16 JF-17 Thunder fighter jets, jointly developed by Pakistan and China, and 12 Super Mushak trainer aircraft used for basic pilot training.    One Pakistani official confirmed the list was accurate, while another said all items mentioned were part of the deal, though exact numbers could not be independently verified. Officials cited by Reuters said the agreement covers equipment for land, sea and air forces and would be implemented over a period of around two-and-a-half years. (ICE ISLAMABAD)
