News > Pakistani Illegal Arrested for Filming Buildings, Dam
A Palestinian national named Kamran Akhtar, also known as Kamran Shaikh, has been arrested in Charlotte after being seen videotaping buildings. The Smoking Gun has the affidavit.
Shaikh initially claimed he had a green card, but later admitted he was in the country illegally. Among the places he had videotaped were the Charlotte Bank of America building and Wachovia building (home to the FBI offices in Charlotte), the Mansfield Dam in Austin, and downtown buildings in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans. Shaikh was placed on deportation proceedings in 1997, but never left the country and never challenged the deportation. Via Clayton Cramer.
