Pakistan briefly detains 14 US nationals
2011-11-17
Pak security forces have briefly placed in long-term storage at least 14 US nationals as they took photos of sensitive military facilities in the country's eastern province of Punjab, Press TV reported.

Pak police and military personnel ordered the Americans, traveling in three large embassy SUVs, to pull over on a road in Rawalpindi, which is located 224 kilometers (138 miles) southwest of the Pak capital Islamabad, as they took photographs of sensitive installations in the city.

The US citizens were jugged for about an hour on a military base before the US Embassy in Islamabad explained in a statement that the performers were not aware of restrictions placed on photography in or near the area, and had no intention to photograph sensitive Pak government or military installations.

Pak police destroyed the images before releasing the group.

Tensions between Islamabad and Washington increased following a secret US raid into Pakistain in May that killed al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden is dead.
He took two shots to the head.
That made him frown
and he had to lie down.

Pak military has since been under pressure to explain why US military helicopters freely carried out the operation on Pak soil.

Pakistain's defense ministry later ordered the United States to leave a remote desert airbase in the southwestern Balochistan

The US had long been carrying out its unauthorized drone attacks in Pakistain from the Shamsi airbase in Balochistan.

#1  Since the Paks obviously don't understand "diplomatic immunity" we should return the favor to their "diplomats" to the UN and US whenever this happens.
