ISLAMABAD: Britain has cancelled a visit by Prince Charles to Peshawar at the advice of the Pakistani government, a spokesman for the British High Commission in Islamabad said on Tuesday.
The cancellation of Tuesday's visit to the conservative northwestern city follows a Pakistani air strike on a religious school which killed up to 80 suspected militants and sparked anger among Islamists.
"The Prince's visit to Peshawar is cancelled on the advice of the Pakistan government. A new programme is to be advised," High Commission spokesman Aidan Liddle said without elaborating.
