Pakistan expels 18 British military trainers: Report

[Geek]

According to a report in a British newspaper on Sunday, Pakistan has expelled a team of British military trainers that were sent to help with the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda.
The Guardian reported that the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence has confirmed the withdrawal of at least 18 military advisers from Pakistan.
The report suggests that the troops were sent back as the fallout from the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden continues to rock relations between Islamabad and its western allies.
The trainers were deployed as part of a 15 million programme to train the paramilitary Frontier Corps.
According to the report, most of the military advisers are already back in the UK.
It also suggests that their removal is seen as an indirect casualty of worsening relations between Pakistan and America over the US raid in Abbottabad, which was conducted without Pakistani consent.
At the end, it adds that a military spokesman in Islamabad said between 200 and 300 US military personnel remain in the country.
Earlier this month, the United States embassy in Islamabad issued a statement confirming the reduction of US military presence in Pakistan.

They penetrated quite deep into our forces in the name of training, co operation and aid... still not late to drag them out ... and to keep a watch on people who were in close interaction with these foreign touts.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• At least 18 British experts are asked to leave Balochistan, the British say
• Pakistan cites "security concerns" the British say, without specifying what the concerns are

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan asked the British government to pull at least 18 military trainers from the country, British officials in Islamabad and London told CNN Monday.
The trainers were withdrawn from Balochistan and were not expelled, the Ministry of Defence said.
George Sherriff, a spokesman for the British High Commission in Islamabad, told CNN Pakistan had cited "security concerns" in its request. He said the British "understood" the concerns, but did not say what they were.
Pakistan asked the United States last month to reduce the number of military trainers it has in the country after the raid by U.S. Navy SEALs to kill Osama bin Laden.
A Pentagon spokesman said at the end of that the United States had begun to comply and is removing some of the more than 200 personnel who are posted there.
The British experts were assigned to train Pakistan's Frontier Corps, the paramilitary force that is taking on various militant groups along Pakistan's western border, the British High Commission said.
The team was asked to withdraw "in the last couple of weeks," the Ministry of Defence said.
The Defence Ministry said the request was to "withdraw some of its training support teams on a temporary basis.
"We are providing training support at the invitation of the Pakistan Government and welcome their advice on these matters. The training teams will continue their own training and will be ready to re-deploy at the first possible opportunity," the ministry said.

Re: Pakistan asks British military trainers to leave country

More drama to fool the Pakistani people into thinking that our army is taking tough measures against the West. They are kicking out people who are actually helping Pakistan by training our paramilitary yet no action is being taken against drone strikes which are murdering innocent Pakistanis.
