(Reuters) - A scheduled high-level meeting among U.S., Afghan and Pakistani officials this month has been postponed, the State Department said on Saturday amid a deepening diplomatic rift over a U.S. man locked in a Pakistani jail accused of murder.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the decision to scrap the February 23-24 meeting had been taken "in light of political changes inPakistan and after discussions with Afghan and Pakistani officials in Washington."
