The Pentagon has offered Pakistan a $1.2 billion arms package, the first in more than 14 years, the Hindustan Times reported Thursday.

Some see the offer as a reward for Pakistan's support in the U.S. war on terror.

The arms package, which must be approved by the U.S. Congress, includes eight P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft, six Phalanx rapid-fire guns for the Pakistan navy and more than 2,000 TOW 2 missiles for the army, according to Pentagon sources.
