U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman
Special US Envoy to Afghanistan, Pakistan Steps Down -- Voice of America
The U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan is stepping down.
The State Department says Marc Grossman will leave next month to return to private life, and will be replaced by his deputy, David Pearce.
Grossman came out of retirement to take the job early last year, following the sudden death of former envoy Richard Holbrooke.
His tenure has included tense relations between the United States and Pakistan over the issues of drone strikes on Pakistani soil, an American airstrike that mistakenly killed 24 Pakistani soldiers and the U.S. raid in Abbottabad that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Grossman has also worked to support Afghanistan's peace process and stressed the need for Pakistan to be a part of the reconciliation.
