WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The Pentagon said there is no truth to newspaper reports that U.S. Gen. David Petraeus will soon be leaving his post as commander of the war in Afghanistan.
London's The Times newspaper ran a front-page story on its Web site saying Gen. Petraeus would be leaving Afghanistan by the end of the year and a search was underway for his replacement, Stars and Stripes reported.
