American Gary Brooks Faulkner Arrested in Pakistan

Gary Brooks Faulkner, a California native, was arrested in Chitral, near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan. The 52-year-old claimed to be on a solo mission to capture Osama bin Laden, and was armed with a handgun, a 40-inch sword, night vision equipment, hashish, and a book of Christian literatures.

Gary Brooks Faulkner told authorities that he had been to the region several times before. Faulkner had left the security guard assigned to him as he traveled, and was detained as he made his way to the Afghan border on foot.

An American national Gary Brooks Faulkner was arrested from the Bumburet Kalash valley of Chitral, reportedly trying to cross over into Nuristan province of Afghanistan which borders the area.

Faulkner told police that he had no intention of killing bin Laden, Ahmed said. But police believed he was trying to kill bin Laden because of the weapons he was carrying, according to Ahmed.
