AP: Pakistani detained in Chile says he was framed

SANTIAGO, Chile -- A Pakistani man being investigated in a terror probe after being detained at the U.S. Embassy told The Associated Press that he thinks it all must be a mistake.

"Everything is so weird. I am still trying to think what happened," Mohammed Saif Ur Rehman Khan said in an interview Wednesday in his public defender's office.

Khan, 28, repeated his denials that he has anything to do with terrorism, and said he can't figure out why Chilean police say they found traces of tetryl, a chemical used to boost the power of explosives, in his bag, on his cell phone and on clothing in his apartment.

Khan had been called to the U.S. Embassy to be told his visa was revoked because of information received by the U.S. government, the State Department has said.

But Khan said they never told him his visa was revoked, and he claimed a bomb sniffing dog was so uninterested in his bag that it appeared to fall asleep.

Color me not surprised in the least

this one guy was framed. One test for tetryl may be a lab error -- but several? Impossible.

It's a screwy story, but it is true that they did sevral test that came up positive. Either he or someone he knows had something to do with tetryl.
