Pakistan Requests Scaled-Back U.S. Military Force 
--------------------------------------------------



The U.S. military has begun withdrawing a limited number of troops from
Pakistan following a request from the Pakistani government. The Pentagon
says Pakistan asked for the scaling back of the more than 200-strong
U.S. force following the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. It is
unknown how many troops are being withdrawn.
