Pakistani and American officials said in interviews that the demand that the United States scale back was his presence the direct consequences of the arrest in Pakistan of Raymond A. Davis, a c.i.a. Security Officer two men in January killed while what he said, was an attempt to rob him.
All in all about 335 American personal - c.i.a. were prompted officers and contractors, and special forces - to leave the country, a Pakistani official said closely in the decision.
It was not clear how many c.i.a.-personnel, which would leave the total number in Pakistan has not known have been given. But nachgefragte the cuts the Pakistanis amounted to 25 to 40 percent of the United States special forces of the country, the official said. Which contain also the abolition of all American contractors from the c.i.a. in Pakistan used.
The requests appeared to impede enough bad American efforts--either by drone strikes or Pakistani military training - to combat fighters who use Pakistan as a base to fight American troops in Afghanistan and plot terrorist attacks abroad.
The reduction of which have been personally requested by the head of the Pakistan army, General Ashfaq Kayani Parvez, said Pakistani and American officials, anonymity requested and deal with the sensitive issue.
The scale of the Pakistani claims emerged as Lieutenant-General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the head of who Agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate or the ISI, Pakistan's chief spy in Washington on Monday for almost four hours of meetings with the Director c.i.a.E. Leon Panetta and Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff.
Two American officials said later, that General Pasha not specific requests for the reduction of the c.i.a. officers, contractors or American military in Pakistan in the meetings.
"There were no ultimatums, no requirements to withdraw dozens or hundreds of Americans from Pakistan," said one of the officials, who spoke on the basis of the tensions between the two spy services under the condition of anonymity.
A c.i.a. spokesman, George little, called the meeting "productive" and said "to make the relationship between the two services remains on solid basis."
The meetings were part of efforts to repair relations the spy agencies already provisional and suspicious. These bindings crashed to a new low as one of the Davis episode that further, the divergence in the Pakistani and American interests has made available, such as the final in Afghanistan closer.
The Pakistani army firmly believes that Washington's real in Pakistan aims, the nation of its valuable nuclear arsenal, stripes, which now on a path to the world's fifth largest, the Pakistani official said closely in the decision on the reduction of the US presence.
On the American side, frustration with the Pakistani army has apparent inability, a large number of militant groups, including the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, which flourished in Pakistan's tribal areas, despite more than $1 billion in American support per year to the Pakistani armed forces have to defeat built.
In a rare public rebuke, a White House report to Congress last week described the Pakistani efforts against the militant as disappointing.
At the time of his arrest Mr.. Davis a covert c.i.a. was effort, to penetrate a militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has relations with Pakistan in the military and intelligence has a setting, deepening progress in Afghanistan, and as a global threat is perceived.
The c.i.a. asked, Mr Davis be released immediately on the grounds he had diplomatic immunity. Instead, he found for 47 days in prison and the officials said, for 14 days in question provided by ISI agents during his arrest in Lahore, infuriating American officials. He was finally released to the families of his victims to the approximately $2.3 million in damages agreed.
The list of the reduction of the American personnel from General Kayani is another price, required but apparently according to the Pakistani and American officials. American officials said last year that the Pakistanis had allowed that up to 120 special operations in the country, which involved training of the paramilitary Frontier most of them troops Corps in the north-western Pakistan. The Americans had reached the quota, the Pakistani official said.
In addition to the withdrawal of all c.i.a said contractors, the removal of the c.i.a. Pakistan-activists "unilateral" assignments such as Mr. Davis involved in demand is not, the Pakistani secret service of the Pakistani officials know.
American official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said without elaboration that it had asked the Pakistanis "for further insight into some things" - probably the type of the c.i.a. covert operations in the country ", and this requirement is talked is."
General Kayani of also the Obama said management has that got his advanced drone campaign of control, said a Pakistani official. Weed out given the reluctance or inability of Pakistani military Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters from the tribal areas, drone strikes, increasing the number of attacks in the past year have American officials are more and more to dramatically.
