WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Pakistan's military said Wednesday it recalled an official delegation to Washington over the rude treatment its members received from airport security agents.
The eight-member party led by a brigadier general was on its way to a meeting at U.S. Central Command headquarters in Florida when were taken off their plane at Washington's Dulles International Airport and subjected to what a Pakistani spokesman called "unwarranted security checks".
"The delegation was cleared and U.S defense officials regretted the incident," said Pakistani Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas. "However, as a result of these checks, military authorities in Pakistan decided to cancel the visit and call the delegation back".
