US Vice Adm. Michael LeFever, chief of the office of the defense
representative in Pakistan, did not provide specific numbers in Friday's
statement. A senior Pakistani military official said earlier this week that
Pakistan's army has sent home 90 US military personnel out of a total of 135
who were training its forces in counterinsurgency skills.
He asked not to be
named in accordance with military practice. The reduction is the latest setback
in the troubled relationship between the US and Pakistan following the May 2
American raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. LeFever said the US remains ready to
help Pakistan with security if asked.
