The information about the US troops is contained in the account of a meeting in Washington between the-then US deputy secretary of state, John Negroponte, and Pakistan’s foreign minister, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, discussing security co-operation and concerns across the country.

After both parties agreed the security plans lacked resources, Pakistan’s national security advisor, Mahmud Ali Durrani, referred to the training co-operation.

“Durrani pledged Pakistan’s support for the US Training-of-Trainers for the Frontier Corps starting in Abbottabad in October,” the report read.
