ISLAMABAD: A US spy was rearrested by security agencies in Pakistan when he entered the country on fake travel documents, Samaa reported Saturday.
Matthew Craig Barrett entered Pakistan from Islamabad airport through a landing card that carried his wrong credentials, according to officials of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Barrett was arrested from Islamabad’s Sector G-8 and shifted to undisclosed location for interrogation.
FIA said a duty officer, Ehtisham, who gave clearance to the US spy at the airport, has been arrested for negligence. A case has been registered against him and Pakistani Consul in US, Saadia Altaf Qazi.
He was blacklisted by Pakistan in 2011 after being captured from a sensitive location in Fateh Jang tehsil of Punjab’s Attock district. He was then deported and his visa cancelled.
FIA is investigating how Barrett reacquired Pakistani visa despite being on blacklist. - Samaa
