The Central Intelligence Agency has no plans to withdraw its top spy from Islamabad after his name was allegedly divulged in a Pakistani newspaper, a US official said on Monday. The publication of the name came amid severe tensions between the two countries, with Islamabad complaining of "unilateralism" after a US raid last week that killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil.
"There are currently no plans to pull the CIA's chief of station out of Pakistan," a US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP. In December, the CIA had to withdraw its top spy in Islamabad after a newspaper published the name of the officer.
