Pakistan to deport US diplomat |
2009-08-08 |
Pakistan's Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman says that a US diplomat could be deported for using abusive language against Pakistan and high ranking police officials. If the US diplomat is found guilty, he could be declared 'Persona Non Grata', Abdul Basit told reporters on Friday in Islamabad, a Press TV correspondent reported. The name of the American diplomat has not been revealed. Basit said that an investigative report into the incident would soon be received by the Interior Ministry and after reviewing it, a final decision would be made on what course of action should be taken -- whether to summon the US ambassador or some other concerned person. A police official named Hakim Khan lodged a complaint against the US diplomat a few days ago, saying that he took him at gunpoint and used abusive language against Pakistan and high ranking police officials. Meanwhile, the US Embassy Spokesman Richard Snelsire said that the US embassy is holding talks with Pakistani authorities and he is optimistic that the matter would be settled. |

#1 Could Pakistan please rephrase the complaint in a logical manner with proper sentence structure so one can figure out what they are upset about? |
