Pakistan detains 14 Chinese headed to Europe on fake South Korean passports
Karachi, Aug 7, 2006 Pakistani police Monday arrested 14 Chinese who arrived in the port city of Karachi on fake South Korean passports on their way to Europe and two Koreans suspected of human trafficking, officials said. "We have arrested 14 Chinese, eight of them women, and two Koreans," a senior official of the Federal Investigation Agency, Mohammad Malik, told AFP. "This is the first time we have caught such a gang and they must be part of international gangs involved in human trafficking," Malik said. Ten Chinese were rounded up from a guest house in the city's eastern neighbourhood of Gulshan-e-Jamal while six others, including a Korean man and a woman, were taken into custody after being off loaded from a Turkish airlines' flight bound for Istanbul. "They had plans to proceed to Istanbul before finally reaching Milan in Italy," Malik said. "The Koreans had accompanied the Chinese nationals to help them enter Europe and the United States illegally." The group had entered the Pakistani port city on August 4 on transit visa en route to Europe and the US. The detainees would be tried, Malik said.
