US special envoy to Af-Pak region steps down, no replacement named
[DAWN] Washington's special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistain stepped down on Friday, just as the United States is preparing to send thousands more troops to the region.
A senior State Department official told AFP that acting special representative Laurel Miller left the post without a replacement being named.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Miller is returning to a position at the Rand Corporation and that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has not yet decided what to do with post.
