  • My hero.

    ISLAMABAD—An American construction worker who was arrested with a sword, a pistol and night-vision goggles in northwestern Pakistan told investigators Tuesday that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden to avenge the 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S.

    Gary Brooks Faulkner, 52 years old, of California was caught by Pakistani police Monday in the remote Bumburat Valley near the border of Afghanistan's Nuristan province, where he apparently hoped to find bin Laden.

    Police quoted Mr. Faulkner as saying he wanted to avenge the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington. He was carrying Christian religious books with him, according to Mumtaz Ahmed Khan, a senior police officer in the northwestern town of Chitral.

    Mr. Faulkner arrived in Chitral on June 3 and stayed in a hotel in Bumburat Valley, an area famous for its spring dancing festival which attracts large number of foreign visitors every year. Mr. Faulkner arrived in Pakistan on a tourist visa, and police said it was his third trip to the area in the past five years.

    Mr. Faulkner disappeared from his hotel on Sunday night, slipping away from the police guard that had been posted there for his security, a common service in the area.

    He was seized from a forest in a high security zone close to the border after a 10-hour hunt. He carried a 40-inch sword, which he said he brought with him from California, and several rounds of pistol bullets, Mr. Khan said. Mr. Faulkner surrendered without any resistance and was flown to Peshawar Tuesday for further investigation.

    Richard Snelsire, U.S. embassy spokesman, said the Peshawar consulate had been informed of the arrest of a U.S. citizen, adding that the embassy was seeking access to the detained American. Mr. Snelsire said the embassy hadn't had contact with the detained American and didn't know his place of residence.

            Only issue I have with it is that he was carrying "Christian religious books." Did that dumbas$ think he was going to convert people??? (Disregard if they were for personal use)


            My shirt has that senior police officer's name on it...



            Mumtaz means "excellent." Pretty baller name.

              Wait a minute. How was he able to get a 40" sword on an American plane to Afghan?

              Even if you put it in a baggage customs will catch it and not allow it.

                    I just found out that this guy has kidney problems and only has 9% of it functioning. He needs to be in dialysis 3x a week. So this is probably his last heroic ditch before he dies.
