WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (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.
"In light of the political changes in Pakistan and after discussions with Afghan and Pakistani officials in Washington, it was agreed to postpone the trilateral meeting," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in a statement. (Reporting by Andrew Quinn, editing by Eric Beech)
