| [DAWN] United Kingdom's customs authority on Monday detained five Pakistain International Airlines (PIA) crewmembers from a London-Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... flight on charges of smuggling and money laundering. According to DawnNews, PIA flight PK-788 from London to Karachi was delayed when London airport authorities searched the crew's luggage for almost two hours, after which seven crewmembers were taken into custody. Two crewmembers were later released. Sources said a large amount of currency and several insured mobile phones were recovered from the crew's bags. Sources said the PIA aircraft flew to Karachi with a crew comprising only seven members, which is below the required number per international flight safety standards. |
