US Scanning Defied: FATA Delegation Returns


US Scanning Defied: FATA Delegation ReturnsA six-member delegation of the National Assembly and Senate returned to Pakistan in protest after refusing a body scan at the Dulles International Airport, Washington.

Talking to the media persons at the Benazir Airport, head of the delegation Senator Abbas Khan Afridi said they were asked for a body-scan but they refused, as they termed the law discriminatory to parliamentarians of a sovereign country. He said they were informed before their arrival in the US that they would not face any such discrimination during their visit. The delegation went to the US on February 28 for a 15-day visit.
