Islamabad: A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) official was suspended for allowing 10 Afghan nationals with fake documents to board a flight from Islamabad to London, media reported yesterday.
The PIA on Sunday suspended Khurram Shahzad, a member of the task force which had cleared visas and passports of the Afghans at Islamabad’s Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Dawn online reported.
The airport is the third-largest in Pakistan, serving the capital Islamabad and its twin city Rawalpindi.
The Afghan nationals were taken into custody after they landed at London’s Heathrow airport. A PIA spokesman said an investigation had begun against Shahzad and other staff members.
