US withdraws supply route negotiators from Pakistan

US negotiators who have been trying to reach a deal with Pakistan over a supply route to Nato troops in Afghanistan have quit the talks.

"The decision was reached to bring the team home for a short period of time," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.

The negotiators have, so far, failed to reach a deal.

Pakistan shut a Nato supply route in November after a Nato air strike near the Afghan-Pakistani border which killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
