| Americans to land only in Islamabad |
| 2009-12-26 |
| ISLAMABAD -- Now Americans can land only on Benazir Bhutto Shaheed International Airport, Islamabad, as Government has banned other airports of the country for them. A reliable source informed TheNation that unusual activities of Americans in Pakistan have forced the Government to take this decision and the arrest of five US nationals from Sargodha also played a key role in it. Intelligence agencies have been reporting about increasing anger and agony against Americans among the general public, as the US nationals don't abide by the laws. On many occasions, US nationals publicly didn't abide the law of the state, as four times in Lahore and six times in Islamabad they were stopped on various police checkpoints and illegal weapons were recovered from them, but still they were allowed to move freely. This raised many questions about the integrity of Pakistan, and political parties, civil society and media were openly protesting against this discrimination. Again five arrested Americans during interrogations have revealed important information that is against Pakistan's integrity and this was the main reason of this decision, the source disclosed. Now Americans can land only on Benazir Bhutto Shaheed International Airport, Islamabad, and they will have to complete the whole immigration process and only ten they would be allowed to stay here. |

| #4 Makes me wonder if they are just as concerned about Al Qaeda and Taliban militants behavior and decide to control their activities too. |

| #1 we need to return the favor. Only at some expensive field with tons of security may Pakiwakis land or take off. |
