American ‘bin Laden hunter’ released
LOS ANGELES: An American man detained in Pakistan for trying to track down and kill Osama bin Laden has been freed and will return to the US later on Wednesday, his family told the local media.
Colorado-based construction worker Gary Faulkner was released by authorities in Pakistan late on Tuesday before flying home to the US via Dubai, a relative said. Faulkner was detained on June 13 in Chitral, once a rumoured hiding place of bin Laden, armed with a pistol, dagger, sword and night-vision equipment. afp
