The FBI has arrested Kashmiri separatist leader Ghulab Nabi Fai for allegedly collaborating with Pakistan's ISI by “clandestinely” funnelling huge funds to change the view of American lawmakers on Kashmir. US Attorney General for National Security Neil MacBride said in a press release in Washington that Mr Fai and his handlers in Pakistan allegedly funnelled millions through the Kashmir Center to contribute to US elected officials, fund high-profile conferences, and pay for other efforts that promoted the Kashmiri cause to decision-makers in Washington. Along with Fai, the FBI has also charged Zaheer Ahmad, a US citizen and resident of Pakistan, on similar charges.Ahmad remains at large and is believed to be in Pakistan. Both face a potential sentence of five years in prison if convicted.
