PESHAWAR: Four United States (US) nationals, who were en route to Peshawar, were sent back to Islamabad after they failed to produce complete travel documents to the police, Express News reported on Tuesday.
Officials said they did not have a No Objection Certificate (NoC) for travelling to Peshawar.
The four, who were intercepted at the Peshawar Motorway Interchange, were identified as Richard Joseph, Edward William, Dennis Vansi and William Kath.
Three foreigners were also stopped at the Peshawar Toll Plaza and sent back to the city after they were found to be travelling without a NoC. The three are yet to be identified.
Earlier, two US nationals were barred from entering Peshawar and were sent back to Islamabad for not obtaining permission to enter the provincial capital.
The incident took place at the Motorway Interchange within the limits of Chamkani police station limits when the police intercepted a vehicle carrying two foreigners. The US nationals were identified as George and William.

why just four? take their visas and send them packing! its time to clean up our own mess (and that dumped on us by our neighbours and self proclaimed world super powers)
@ Cautious.
when you say militants, you mean to say militants created by police and other agencies or created by our government and other governments? i hope you would understand the difference between, as the former one is when police and other agencies pushes the common man to limits that he forgets everything and nothing is left for him but to revenge.
If our government is doing something good this must be appreciated not objected. This is common practice that foreigners must have NOC's for visiting cities or locations. If our government guys are coming to right track at-least this criticism must not come from us.
they should be easily identifiable but what about their agents
I wonder how many "militants" are walking around in Peshawar with no papers? No doubt the word is out --- stop and check the papers of any "white guys" walking around - probably a lot safer checking the papers of :white guys" rather than checking the papers of gun toting "brown guys".
If only they did the same to Osama and Company.
