ISLAMABAD: US Embassy on Monday refuted media reports concerning U.
S. officials “escape” from a Peshawar motorway check point and taking
refuge in the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar
US Embassy Spokesman
in a statement said reports allege that the U.S. officials tried to
crush the police officials in their way. This is entirely false.
The
U.S. officials were travelling from Islamabad to Peshawar for official
business and had in their possession an approved No Objection
Certificate from Pakistan General Headquarters for the trip.
They
were not stopped at the checkpoint but were waved on. There was no
altercation between U.S. and Pakistani police officials. All Employees
of the U.S. Mission to Pakistan follow the laws of Pakistan. Online
