FBI agent 'arrested in Pakistan for trying to bring bullets on plane'
[The Telegraph] An FBI agent has reportedly been arrested in Pakistan after trying bring 9mm bullets onto a flight from Karachi to Islamabad. Pakistani media reported that the American was taken before a judicial magistrate in Karachi on Tuesday where a judge ordered him to be until May 10. The incident threatens to put further strain on the already frayed ties between the US and Pakistan, where there is deep anger over American drone strikes. The FBI agent was on temporary duty in Pakistan and is normally assigned to the bureau's office in Miami, according to the Washington Post. It is not clear what the agent was doing in Pakistan although the FBI has dozens of offices based out of US embassies and consulates around the world. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-05-07 |
