The US is reducing its military force in Pakistan at the request of Islamabad after US special forces killed Osama bin Laden, the Pentagon has said.
More than 200 American troops are in the country helping to train the army in counter-insurgency, but there are also said to be intelligence and special forces there.
No details have been given on the size of the reduction, the type of troops involved, nor whether Pakistan has set a new limit on US numbers.
