Pakistan is recalling its troops from UN peacekeeping duties in Sierra Leone amid rising tensions with India.
The announcement came as Pakistan's military chiefs were meeting in Rawalpindi near the capital Islamabad to discuss operational strategy, a security source said.
"All the chiefs of military services are meeting to discuss operational strategy and war preparedness in the wake of a grave Indian threat," he said.
