PESHAWAR, April 21: Pakistani authorities deported two Algerians on Saturday who were arrested at Peshawar International Airport a couple of months back on the charge of possessing fake documents.

Sources at the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) stated here on Sunday that the immigration staff had arrested two Algerians— Mohammad Ibrahim and Abdul Karim — at Peshawar Airport departure when they were to catch Dubai-bound flight. They said that both the foreigners had tampered with their travelling documents.

A local court had sentenced them to nine-month imprisonment for forging their documents.

After undergoing the sentence, they were set free from Peshawar Central Jail and deported to their country by a PIA flight bound for Dubai from where they would catch another flight for Algeria.
