Well, another “US National” arrested in Pakistan
To add to the already strained relations between the USA and Pakistan
The US National, Aaron Mark Dehaven, originally from West Virginia
He apparently is a recent convert to “Islam” and owns a “Company” called
“CATALYST SERVICES” Which looks incredibly Suss.
The typical corporate weasel word type of wanky websites that these “companies” seem to all have.
Here is an article from the Times of India,

Pak arrests another US national on Suspicion of espionage
ISLAMABAD: As the lingering dispute over immunity for the detained CIA official Raymond Davis continues, Pakistan's law enforcement agencies have arrested yet another US national on Friday from Peshawar on suspicion of espionage.
According to sources,
He was arrested from Jamrud Road and was taken by intelligenc agencies to an undisclosed location for interrogation. Well-placed sources told TOI that Dehaven had been living, for the past three years, in Peshawar's Falcon Colony, one of the most secured residential areas in the city. He had set up a private office in the country's volatile city and had hired several locals.
Sometimes back, he was converted to Islam and married a local woman working in his office.
Sources claimed that Dehaven was originally tasked to provide security to the visiting US officials to Peshawar.
Intelligence officials have confiscated his vehicle, carrying Islamabad's number plate---QB 565 and two cell phones.
A case has been filed against him under the Foreigners Act and he will be produced in a local court on Saturday. Without specifying his status, the US embassy said they were looking into the matter.
According to Pakistan's minister of state for foreign affairs Hina Rabbani Khar, 2,570 officials from 78 different countries working in Pakistan have diplomatic immunity while 55 foreign national are not covered by the immunity blanket.
Presenting a list of foreign nationals enjoying diplomatic immunity in the National Assembly, she said that the US has 851 officials in Pakistan and 54 of them do not have diplomatic immunity. Khar also said that the US had the largest number of officials with diplomatic immunity in the country. end snip

And here is a Snipet from that article:

“DeHaven runs a company named Catalyst Services which, according to its website, is staffed by retired military and defense department personnel who have “played some role in major world events” including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the military mission to Somalia and the “global war on terror”.
Services offered include “full-service secure residences”, protective surveillance and armed security.
One prospective customer who met DeHaven last year described him as a small, slightly-built man, who wore glasses and had broad knowledge of Pakistani politics.
DeHaven said he had lived in Kandahar , Afghanistan , for one year, had married a Pakistani woman along the border with Afghanistan Peshawar to Islamabad last year over suspicions that he worked for Blackwater, the controversial US
His business partner is listed on company documents as Hunter Obrikat with an address in Charlotte , North Carolina
The Guardian was unable to contact either men at listed numbers in Pakistan , Afghanistan , the US and Dubai
US embassy spokeswoman Courtney Beale said DeHaven was “not a direct employee of the US
The arrest is another sign of brittle relations between the two countries.

Maybe even “revolution”?

We need to keep our eyes on this one.
Anyway, I thought I’d put up a post about this as it’s all connected as we can see.

These bastards are all over the world ready to stir things up. Typical spy creating a phony company. Both names sound Jewish.
Hi HBM.
It's so obvious, just looking at their "fronts" they are all driven by the same agenda, same kind of people, for a common purpose..
Thanks for dropping in.
Hope you had a good run today and it wasn't raining.
Cheers A13
Hey A-13:
good catch, I was just going to throw up a post on that one, because it is curious, really curious.
I am glad you are keeping an eye on this situations also.
The more info out there the better.
And do I think he is connected to Ray Davis?
Hell, ya!
Hey, A13! Do you know the Gibson Desert? I am reading a book about this woman that rode her camels across the Gibson Desert. It was a 1700 mile journey.
Hi HBM, yes the Gibson Desert In W.A.
and Robyn Davidson was that woman i think, called the "Camel Lady".
i didn't know there was a book about it.
What a epic adventure that sure was.
I read you had another good run, i miss the smell of Eucalypts, It's too tropical up here where i am for them to sutvive and thrive well.
Cheers A13
We have lots Eucalyptus where I live. They are considered a fire hazard. Sometimes they cut them down. About Robyn Davidson, I was reading her story. The book has some great pictures of her adventure.
