US pulls negotiators from Pakistan, no supply deal
None
The United States is withdrawing its team of negotiators from Pakistan without securing a long-sought deal with Islamabad to allow trucks to again supply NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan, the Pentagon said on Monday.
Pentagon spokesman George Little said the decision to withdraw the negotiating team was not imposed by Pakistan. He said the team of negotiators had been there for about six weeks and deserved a rest. "I believe that some of the team left over the weekend and the remainder of the team will leave shortly," Little told reporters. "This was a US decision." (Reuters)
