A Pakistani policeman and a paramilitary soldier stand gaurd outside the British High Commission (embassy) in Islamabad May 22, 2002. Britain said on Wednesday a series of threats against its interests in Pakistan prompted a decision to withdraw a large number of diplomats and warnings to its nationals living and working in the country to leave. "The nature of the threats was a bomb attack. It's more than one threat that we've had," a spokeswoman at the British High Commission (embassy) in the Pakistani capital Islamabad told Reuters.
