Pakistan allows limited presence of US troops: report


WASHINGTON: The United States and Pakistan have agreed to limit the number of Americans in that country, amid frayed relations between the two nations and a struggle to repair them, British daily newspaper reported.

According to US and Pakistani officials, the new compromise pact slashes the number of US forces allowed in Pakistan to between 100 and 150, nearly half of what it has been in the past. The number of special operations trainers would fall from 140 to fewer than 10.

Officials described the agreement on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. And they said there could be changes to the totals over time.
