U.S. pulls negotiators from Pakistan, no supply deal
WASHINGTON | Mon Jun 11, 2012 11:11am EDT
(Reuters) - 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.
"I believe that some of the team left over the weekend and the remainder of the team will leave shortly," George Little, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters. "This was a U.S. decision."
