US spy rearrested by security agencies in Pakistan

[Laozi]

An agent coming to collect information vs one who allegedly supported terrorists?

Well, it would be premature to say about him at this stage but if he is just spy then of course, he will treated differently than Kul Bachan, who not only stepped inside Pakistan under fake identity , but also committed acts of terrorism. He was mastermind and coordinator for many terrorist organisations and thus deserves the worst possible death.
However, if this spy is involved in similar stuff, he should also be treated the same.

You guys believe whatever is told to you provided it is in conformity with Pakistani anti-India stance.

In India, Pakistani spies, jihadi trained in Pakistan, infiltrators etc. are caught or killed on regular basis and such news is hardly ever discussed on electronic media. While every Pakistani knows about an Indian Ex-navy guy who is the biggest terrorist in the world and who is in custody of Pakistani security agencies. It is mandatary for all TV channels to continuously keep reminding the nation about this prized catch on daily basis. ( though nobody in Pakistan can spell his name in either Urdu or English )

Has anybody in Pakistan demanded for an attorney access for arrested Indian fellow to know the real truth.

One really wonders why their is a sharp decline in numbers of critics in Pakistan who can question the narratives of their " Establishment"

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

kill him ..and its over

It was the correct thing to do. Might is right. do you know anybody who enoys or wants to be weak? We are not USA. Neither is India. When your stronger than USA then you will have plenty of options to exercise your rights. Until then behave like a Third World country. Instead of picking useless fights grow the economy. Get strong. False bravado gets you no where.

Pakistan will never be stronger than the US, so according to your theory Pakistan should simply hand over her nukes to the US because that is what the US wants from Pakistan.

 

[Imran Khan]

Wait few days he will be free

 

[New Resolve]

Yep great tourist destination that, Fateh Jang lol. I think he will be exchanged for any one the americans are holding, thats how these things work.

 

[Ghazwa e Hind]

Did he cleared IULTS test before getting Pakistani visa??? :-D

Are you sure it was not an Afghan disguising as an American?

I think he is a illegal immigrant .....

hahaha, he is an Afghan dude

Or probably he is running away from states as Trump being a GOP nominee

Technically you kill under age kids designated as Infiltrators & terrorists.
Since such events happen in Kashmir so such news are not discussed in Indian Media .... as there is no "proof" to prove a 16 year old Kashmiri as Infiltrator or terrorists

 

[OrionHunter]

A US citizen wanting to migrate to Pakistan? Really? Ok.

WTF? Calling him a "spy" was ludicrous in the first place - there's no evidence he did anything other than take a wrong turn while shopping, or else Pakistani courts wouldn't have released him in 2011 on his wife's say-so. Expelling him from Pakistan seems to have been a face-saving device for those who first accused him of being a spy. If this had happened to YOU, would you let a little thing like an ill-founded blacklist keep you from seeing your wife and kids for five years? What would you think of yourself if you did?

So yes @Kaptaan , it looks more like a case of illegal immigration than anything else...

Binosche Barrett, Matthew's wife, with their two children. [2011]

...Stopped before the forbidding sign, Barrett realised he had a problem. He phoned his wife, Binosche, for help. They had met four years earlier, during Barrett's travels across Asia; now they lived in a smart Islamabad suburb with their two young children. Speaking in Urdu, Binosche asked a guard at a nearby checkpost to direct her husband back to Islamabad. "He said 'don't worry, your husband is our guest'," she recalls. But according to Barrett, in an account smuggled from prison and obtained by the Guardian, the situation quickly soured.

An intelligence official turned up, firing a barrage of questions. The official confiscated Barrett's passport, then his phone and finally the keys to his car. Barrett was taken into a nearby building where, he says, intelligence officers accused him of being a CIA spy, made "racist comments" about Guantánamo Bay, and attempted to cuff him and place a black hood over his head. Barrett resisted, kicking one man in the behind and mocking his captors as they beat him.

Barrett was released after five hours, hobbling back to Islamabad in a damaged car (the Pakistanis had ripped open the driver's door, apparently in search of espionage devices). Then the real trouble started. Stories surfaced in the press, attributed to the military's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency, accusing him of "scoping out nuclear facilities". The interior ministry cancelled his visa and declared he had been blacklisted. Finally, in early June, nine police officers burst into Barrett's home, pushed past his wife and screaming children, and led him off to jail -

So, guys, are you still so pitiless as to want to "chop his balls off", etc.?

A picture perfect family with kids....

This is what a real life spy looks like... not like jason bourne... i am now sure there is some going on....

Stop bringing Afghanistan into this thread. We already have enough Afghanistan in Pakistan which we are frankly sick and tired of.

Why are you Americans so obsessed with Pakistan? Building super sized embassies, sending over thousands of spies, killing people in drone strikes, calling Pakistan an unreliable ally etc.

The Americans are a confused bunch. On the one hand, they claim to break all relations because Pakistan is supposed to be an untrustworthy ally and what not. On the other hand, they build super sized mega embassies and send in thousands of spies into Pakistan. The Americans are in an open undeclared war with Pakistan. Make up your mind. The duplicity doesn't make sense.

He is a bloody spy because he was caught redhanded at a sensitive security area. What would the Americans do to a Pakistani if that were to happen? They would accuse him/her of terrorism and hold an open trial to defame Pakistan in its entirety. Would Pakistan get their national back? This guy is a blacklisted criminal. He is not allowed to enter Pakistan. Nothing that you say will change that fact. If he has a son or wife they should move to the US because their dad is a blacklisted spy. Try entering the US as a blacklisted Pakistani. Double standards and a lot of crocodile tears.

Police from the Fateh Jhang area charged him under Section 123 of the Pakistan Penal Code — which deals with ‘Concealing with intent to facilitate design to wage war’


If a Pakistani citizen can get 80 years in jail in America on charges to "attempt" the murder of American serviceman, this sob was in Pakistan to wage war against the state of Pakistan. Do the maths as to what should be his punishment.

He has not asked for hashish yet so i think yes he is not afghan

hahahah good one.

Though I think Afghans are only the exporters of the product, smoking is rarely done and looked up pretty harshly to those who smoke it.
