Save the Children, a charity group that aids children, has been expelled from Pakistan.
Save the Children (http://www.savethechildren.org/site/c.8rKLIXMGIpI4E/b.6115947/k.8D6E/Official_Site.htm) spokesperson Ghulam Qadri said Pakistan's Interior Ministry gave the charity's foreign staff a two-week notice to leave the South Asian nation.
He said the ministry of interior gave no reason for the expulsion.



I am for helping but why can't they understand that they don't want us there?

Dr Shakil Afridi was arrested after it emerged he had been running a fake vaccination programme on behalf of the CIA as part of efforts to track Bin Laden, who was killed by US special forces in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad in May last year.

The US authorities say Dr Afridi provided "very helpful" information for the raid and have called for his release

That is a lie and they know it. He was not a part of Save the Children.

Apparently they think the 6 foreign workers for STC were somehow involved..

Save the children doesn't allow this type of behavior. They were only there for the children. The only ones they are hurting are the children in this decision. They found nothing on them. But if that's the way they want it we have our own children that need help.

That's another good reason not to send money overseas when they show kids dying because we never know if it even gets to the children. I think it's time for Americans to stop giving and focus on our own.

How did they find out about Dr. Afridi? Did we rat on him? The guy got 33 years in a Paki prison for God's sake.

All those people are safer out of Pakistan if they are rumored to have helped get Bin Lden.

It is probably best for the Charity and its workers.

Explusion from Pakistan

On September 6th, 2012 Pakistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan) has ordered Save the Children's foreign staff to leave the country. Pakistan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan) has alleged that the Save the Children organization has been infiltrated by the foreign intelligence agencies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agency) and its staff in Pakistan was collecting intelligence.[23] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-22) Pakistan has accused the Save the Children linking it to a fake vaccination program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination) run by Dr. Shakil Afridi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakil_Afridi) used in the hunt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Osama_bin_Laden) for Osama bin Laden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden).[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-23)
Pakistani investigators said in a July 2012 report that Dr. Shakil Afridi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakil_Afridi) met 25 times with "foreign secret agents, received instructions and provided sensitive information to them."[25] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-wapo20120726-24) According to Pakistani reports, Dr. Shakil Afridi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakil_Afridi) told investigators that the charity Save the Children helped facilitate his meeting with U.S. intelligence agents although the charity denies the charge.[26] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-guardian20120905-25) The officials have identified Michael McGrath, an Australian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_people) who was Save the Children country director in Pakistan in 2009 as the person who recruited Dr. Shakil Afridi.[27] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-26)
Western (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world) NGO (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization) officials say Pakistani authorities have made it much harder for them to do their jobs, but they also have criticized the CIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency) for using humanitarian work (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_aid) as a cover for intelligence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agency) gathering.[28] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_the_children#cite_note-27)

Only because they were outsiders and couldn't find the ones who did. If they had any proof at all they would not to have been asked to leave but killed.

The Obama regime released info after Obama "killed" bin Laden that implicated a doctor and a vaccine program. The Pakis figured it out from there.

They gave out enough info for the Pakis to figure it out.

It was part of the intel leaks out of the administration. The MSM barely covered it.
