ISLAMABAD: US Special Representative for Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke has ruled out the possibility of arrival of US troops in Pakistan, saying that tackling the militancy in Pakistani territories is the responsibility of its own forces.

Addressing a news conference here Friday after concluding his two-visit to the country, Holbrooke said that not a single Pakistani official talked him on the issue of US drone attacks in the tribal areas.
