QUETTA: Border guards arrested four Saudi Arabians and a Pakistani national accompanying them as they tried to enter Pakistan from Iran without visas, an official said on Tuesday. The Saudi men, ages 18 to 25, were arrested on Sunday near Taftan, said Abdul Shakoor, an official with the border security force. Shakoor said the five had travelled to Iran from Saudi Arabia on valid visas, but did not have permission to enter Pakistan. "In investigations, they said that they were coming to Pakistan to study at Islamic schools," he said. Border security officials in Taftan were further interrogating the Saudis, residents of Riyadh, Shakoor said. The Saudis could face jail or fines for entering Pakistan without visas, he said. It was not immediately clear what charges, if any, the Pakistani man could face. |
