Two arrested for passport fraud
2004-01-06
A Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team on Monday raided a travelling agency in Dabgari Garden and arrested two people after confiscating Pakistani, British and Afghani passports. Peshawar Passport Circle FIA Deputy Director Shaukat Hayat Khan told Daily Times that the team raided Al-Khaleej Travelers Agency after receiving a tip.
"Hey! This passport's printed on a brown paper bag! I'm callin' the cops!"
Mr Khan said the agency was involved in providing fake passports and national identity cards. He said 29 Pakistani, four British and two Afghan fake passports and 13 national identity cards and dozens of air tickets were confiscated. He added that the two accused, Qadoos and Hameedullah, were arrested on the spot and a case was registered against them.

#3  Possession of one(1)fake passport is a misdemeanor. Possession of two or more is a felony with intention to traffic. Having to live with the name Qadoos is grounds for a plea bargin on grounds of a human rights abuse:
With a name like Qadoos, you wonder why my other passport says Steve?
