U.S. Diplomat Postpones Trip to Uzbekistan
The July 31, 2005 edition of The New York Times has an article that says Nicholas Burns, U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, is postponing a trip to Uzbekistan in the wake of that Central Asian nation giving the United States six months to leave Karshi-Khanabad air base.
The base, according to Reuters "has served as a hub for missions to Afghanistan and the hunt for Osama bin Laden since shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States."
Mr. Burns is the third ranking diplomat in the U.S. State Department..
