confirm if this piece of news/rumour is true?

PAF trying to induct 60 Gripen jets into fleet

UPDATE...

Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson today CONFIRMED the Pakistani
wish to aquire Gripen Jets, after his session with Prez Musharaff.

Persson added.. before any deal is possible, the Swedish Export
Control Agency has to give clearance. And as mentioned, their
restrictions are very hard to pass. Pakistan is not the ideal
customer for this type of weapon's system.

In short, It has to pass the approval of the governments of
Sweden, Britain and likely the United States for missile parts.
