Of the 641 people taken into custody in the United States following September 11, 548 are being held for immigration law violations. Of the latter number, 208 came to the US from Pakistan, The Dawn reported today.
This was told to a group of Pakistani-Americans by US Attorney-General John Ashcroft. The US has filed criminal charges against 104 others, 55 of whom are in custody.
Pakistan embassy sources admitted that at least 70 of the 548 held valid Pakistani passports. This is by far the single largest national group among those detained. Egyptians are second with 74, followed by various other Arab nationalities. Twenty Indians have also been detained, all on immigration charges.
Thanks!
