An American national Aaron Mark Dehaven has been arrested in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Capital, Peshawar for overstaying illegally in Pakistan, sources said but the US embassy said they were assessing the situation and would comment after the causes are revealed to them officially.
“The American arrested from the University Town Police Station’s jurisdiciton is believed to have converted to Islam three-years back and is now living in Peshawar by the name of Haroon” sources told. Link
The arrest comes at a time of extra scrutiny of foreigners in Pakistani following the detention of a CIA contractor who shot two Pakistanis in the eastern city of Lahore.
Police officer Haroon Khan says the man was arrested Friday in the main northwestern city of Peshawar.
He identified him as Aaron Mark DeHaven and said he was from West Virginia. It was not clear what he was doing in Pakistan.
The U.S. Embassy said it was looking into the case.
You bet it does, even then I have my gut feelings telling me that he is a spy.
Same here... My gut tells me he is a spy too but I will let my head take control. We will show these imperialist animals that justice shall be served, he should be put on trial, if guilty then executed and if proven not guilty then he should be sent packing with the condition that he never sets foot in Pakistan again, serves him right for overstaying in my opinion. :)
