So what was he thinking or did he thought that its Pakistan how would they know if i am carrying bullets or maybe he wanted to hijack our plane and maybe use it for another false flagged operation to justify an attack on Pakistan. This needs to be investigated and he should be put under trail in Pakistan and punished if found guilty. I hope Ramoyand Davis episode is not repeated and he too is let go under false pretext of diplomatic immunity.

Imagine what would have happened if a Pakistani would be found carrying bullets on an american flight?
