The US aid chief said Friday he faced a threat when visiting a relief camp in flood-hit Pakistan but pledged that extremists would not deter assistance. Rajiv Shah, administrator of the US Agency for International Development, said he quickly exited the camp he was touring Sukkur on Wednesday at the urging of his security guards.
"Within a few minutes of being there, our Diplomatic Security detail informed me that there were some suspicious individuals in the area and we needed to leave. So we tried to make as graceful and appropriate an exit as possible," Shah told reporters after returning to Washington.
