The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad is denying Pakistan’s claims it has suspended military or intelligence cooperation with the United States.

Embassy spokesman Richard Snelsire said, “We have not received any formal communication regarding a suspension.”

Earlier Tuesday, in a speech to the Islamabad-based, government sponsored Institute for Strategic Studies, Pakistan’s Defense Minister, Khurram Dastgir Khan, said there is "... a wide field of intelligence cooperation and defense cooperation, which we have suspended." But he added, the supply lines for NATO troops in Afghanistan, formally known as the Ground Lines of Communication or the Air Lines of Communication were still open.
