Kashmiri separatist leader Fai arrested in US

The FBI has arrested prominent Kashmiri separatist leader Ghulam Nabi Fai for allegedly being on the payroll of Pakistan's ISI, which funnelled millions of dollars to him for over two decades, and illegally lobbying US lawmakers to influence the American policy on Kashmir.
62-year-old Fai, a US citizen, was arrested by the federal agency yesterday from his home in Fairfax, Virginia, on charges of being an ISI agent who lobbied for the Pakistani spy agency and army on the issue of Kashmir.
The agency filed a 43-page affidavit in a US court in Alexandria in connection with the indictment of Fai and another US citizen Zaheer Ahmad, 63, as agents of Pakistan.
Fai, popular as "doctor sahib" among the Pakistani-American community here, was produced before the court hours after being arrested by FBI, Fai is the Director of the Kashmiri American Council (KAC), a Washington-based group that lobbies for "self-determination" for Kashmir. Its activities, the affidavit said, are funded by ISI. The money includes USD 100,000 given to political campaigns every year.
