Pakistan Wants U.S. To Reduce Military Personnel

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan - Pakistan said Thursday it wanted Washington to reduce its military personnel in the country and threatened to review cooperation in case of another raid similar to that which killed Osama bin Laden.
Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani "made it very clear that any similar action violating the sovereignty will warrant a review of military, intelligence cooperation with the U.S.," a military statement said.
Army corps commanders were called to army headquarters in the garrison town of Rawalpindi by Kayani to be "informed about the decision to reduce the strength of U.S. military personnel in Pakistan to the minimum level."
The statement did not give further details about who may have taken any decision to reduce the strength and when.
