ISLAMABAD:
The motorway police stopped seven US embassy officials from entering Peshawar for not possessing proper travel documents, Express 24/7 reported on Wednesday.
The officials, in three vehicles, were en route to Peshawar from Islamabad but the Motorway police turned them back for not carrying a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
Earlier, four US nationals who were on their way to Peshawar were sent back to Islamabad after they failed to produce complete travel documents to the police.
The four, who were intercepted at the Peshawar Motorway Interchange, were identified as Richard Joseph, Edward William, Dennis Vansi and William Kath.
Earlier this week, two Americans and a Norwegian citizen were also barred from entering Peshawar for not having an NOC.
These foreigners were stopped at Peshawar Interchange on the Islamabad-to-Peshawar Motorway and sent back to Islamabad.
They were carrying valid visas and passports but did not have a NOC which the Interior Ministry has made mandatory for foreigners while travelling anywhere in Pakistan.
