Pakistani police used tear gas and batons Sunday to disperse anti-U.S. protesters in the southern port city of Karachi, while in the federal capital Islamabad the foreign office issued a terse announcement that it canceled this week's visit by a senior U.S. delegation. Alice Wells, Washington's special representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan, had been scheduled to meet Pakistani officials this week in Islamabad. Pakistan says it has no safe havens for the Taliban. "At the request of the government of Pakistan, the visit of the U.S. delegation has been postponed until a mutually convenient time," the Pakistan foreign office statement said. In Islamabad, a group held a peaceful "Defense of Pakistan" rally condemning U.S. policy Sunday.
