SANTIAGO, Chile — Traces of explosives were found on a Pakistani man who was summoned to the U.S. Embassy because his U.S. visa had been revoked, authorities said Tuesday. A Chilean judge ordered him held in a high-security prison under anti-terrorism laws.
Mohammed Saif-ur-Rehman Khan, 28, was detained Monday after the embassy’s detectors were set off by traces of bomb-making material, said Mario Schilling, a Chilean prosecutor’s spokesman. Schilling did not elaborate. Khan has not been charged with any crime.
A senior State Department official in Washington said U.S. authorities had received information about Khan that led them to revoke his visa and he was asked to visit the embassy so diplomats could inform him of the revocation.
