Pakistan asks UK to withdraw military trainers (AP)

ISLAMABAD ? The British Embassy says Pakistan has asked the United Kingdom to withdraw some of its military training teams from the country.

Embassy spokesman George Sherriff said Monday that the withdrawal is temporary and the training teams will be ready to redeploy as soon as possible. He declined to provide further details.

The withdrawal was first reported by the British newspaper the Guardian on Sunday. The newspaper said Pakistan expelled at least 18 British military advisers, deployed as part of a 15 million pound ($23.9 million) program to train the paramilitary Frontier Corps.

The newspaper said the training program began last August and was scheduled to run until at least summer 2013.

Pakistan has also expelled U.S. military trainers from the country.
