| American Bin Laden hunter released by Pakistan |
| 2010-06-24 |
| [Dawn] An American man detained in Pakistan for trying to track down and kill Osama Bin Laden has been freed and will return to the United States later Wednesday, his family told local media. Colorado-based construction worker Gary Faulkner was released by authorities in Pakistan late Tuesday before flying home to the United States via Dubai, a relative told ABC7 News in Denver. "They got the news late yesterday that he was coming in. So, they're really looking forward to seeing Gary. It's been a while," Faulkner's brother-in-law John Martin was quoted as saying on the network's website. Faulkner was detained on June 13 in the remote mountains of Chitral, once a rumored hiding place of bin Laden, near Afghanistan's Nuristan province, armed with a pistol, dagger, sword and night-vision equipment. Long haired and bearded, a Christian believer but suffering from health problems, Faulkner dubbed "the American Ninja" was on a solo mission to track down and kill al Qaeda figurehead bin Laden, his family has said. Brother Scott Faulkner told CNN that Gary Faulkner had been motivated to hunt bin Laden out of a desire to avenge the September 11, 2001 attacks and a belief in God, saying he was not crazy, psychotic or schizophrenic. |

| #1 The AP added this: The Colorado man said he wasn't giving up on his mission. "I would describe the situation, like: I got dialysis. So anyone got a kidney they want to lend me so I can finish this up?" Faulkner told KNBC-TV shortly after his arrival. |
