Americans in Pakistan
Americans in Pakistan (Urdu: امریکی ) form a small expatriate community. According to early statistics of 1999 based on registrations with the local American embassy and consulates, there are between 4,000 and 5,000 Americans in the country, with 2,100 in Pakistan's financial capital Karachi, about 1,250 in Lahore, 506 in Islamabad and 375 in Peshawar. Over 40% - by some estimates almost 60% - are Pakistani Americans who have returned to Pakistan for the short term on long term.
==Employment and social life==
America also maintains a large diplomatic and military contingent in the country; media reports claim that , in addition to 275 diplomats, there are more than a thousand US Marines providing security to diplomatic personnel, and hundreds more unregistered officials living in private houses. This represents significant growth over 1999, when the American diplomatic contingent in the country barely exceeded one hundred people. However, Pakistani officials deny the reports of more than a thousand US Marines in the country.〔 〕
For the American community in Karachi, the American Club once was the centre of their social life. There is also an American School of Karachi, but it had only a handful of American students and teachers.
In late 2009, Pakistan held up many visas for U.S. diplomats, military service members and others, because of hostility inside Pakistan toward the expansion of U.S. operations in the country, while many suspected Americans living in Pakistan were detained following five American terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda arrested in Sargodha.〔http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091211/ap_on_re_us/us_pakistan_us_arrests_probe〕
