When there is no one else to call, don’t bother with the remake of the “A Team”. Just call around for an laid off construction worker…
The Fifty-two-year-old California construction worker arrived in the picturesque mountain border province of Chitral, which borders the Taliban stronghold of Nuristan in Afghanistan, on June 3, accompanied by a security guard that is mandatory for foreigners entering the area, Pakistani police said.After hotel security guards noticed he had vanished on Sunday night, a search party was dispatched. After a 10-hour manhunt they found Faulker some 14 kilometers 9 miles from the Afghan border, according to police official Mumtaz Ahmad Khan.

So below we see he was dying and this was a suicide mission. So now we have Christian going off on Suicide missions against Muslims?
American construction worker and wannabe terrorist-slayer Gary Brooks Faulkner may have taken an unorthodox approach in his one-man hunt for Osama Bin Laden. But he was probably looking in the right place.
Faulkner was arrested by the Pakistani police today in Chitral District, a part of the newly-renamed Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province (née the North West Frontier Province). “He says that he is a kidney patient. He was also carrying medicines for kidney and blood pressure treatment,” Mumtaz Ahmed, a senior police investigator, said.
That’s not all he was carrying. Ten days after checking into his hotel and receiving a customary police escort (which is typical for westerners traveling in this part of Pakistan), Faulker snuck out, heading towards the border with Afghanistan. When the Pakistani police caught up with him, in the Brumboret Valley, Faulkner was packing “a pistol, a dagger and a sword, carrying night-vision goggles, a night-vision camera and religious literature on Christianity.” When questioned after his arrest, Faulkner replied, “God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing [bin Laden].”

No one may of ever expected the Inquisition.. but I think that a white man, who didn’t know the language and obviously didn’t know how to blend in.. Probably had little or no chance on finding Osama.. let along killing him.
As a side I’m glad to see they have good copying machine there. Might explain why they feel the need to have no-fly lists after all the terrorists can’t have made fake passports right?
