AN American armed with a pistol and a 102-centimeter sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden, a police officer said yesterday.
The man, identified as 52-year-old Californian construction worker Gary Brooks Faulkner, said he wanted to cross over into the nearby Afghan province of Nuristan because he had "heard bin Laden was living there," according to officer Mumtaz Ahmad Khan.
He was picked up in a forest in the Chitral region late on Sunday, he said.
"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword, a dagger and night-vision equipment, "our suspicions grew."
Asked why he thought he could find bin Laden, Faulkner replied: "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him."
