| Pakistani: ''Hey! That's my face in that wanted poster!'' |
| 2003-01-02 |
| A Pakistani man has accused the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of mistaking him for a suspected terrorist. Mohammad Asghar said on Thursday in Lahore that his photograph had been used to identify an Arab named as Mustafa Khan Owasi. On Sunday, the FBI posted on its website photographs of five Middle Eastern men suspected of being smuggled across the border from Canada. Mr Asghar, a jeweller, says he has never been to the US and has only left Pakistan once. Cheeze. So now, we not only don't know what their real names are, or where they are, but we don't even know what they look like... He says he went to the United Arab Emirates two months ago when he tried to fly to Britain using forged documents. But he was picked up, questioned and deported before he could board a flight to the UK. I'm tellin' ya, there ain't no such thing as legitimate documents in Pakalonia, and fewer of them in Arabia... "Anybody who wants to ask me any questions, I'm willing to co-operate," he was quoted by the Associated Press as saying. Okay: What were you going to blow up when you tried to false document your way into Britain? |

| #3 This is starting to sound like an old Firesign Theatre bit: "Excuse me sir, but this passport photo looks nothing like you." "Lies! All Lies!" |

| #1 It seems time for a Mulla Nasruddin story: The Mulla was checking in at the airport, and he was asked for his identification. The good mulla pulled out a hand-mirror, pointed at his face in it, and said, "That's me!" Now for the next 7 or 8 stories... |
