No doubt spreading the word that hope and change are coming.
A U.S. citizen was arrested on unspecified charges Monday in a rugged tribal area of Pakistan that borders Afghanistan and is forbidden to most foreigners, a Pakistani official said.
Jude Kenan, a Florida college student, was arrested in Shabqadar, in the Charsadda district of the Mohmand Agency in North Waziristan, said Pakistan Police Station House Officer Qayum Khan.
Kenan was leaving the tribal areas through the Yakaghund police checkpoint when he was arrested, Khan said.
The only foreigners allowed in the district are those permitted by the Interior Ministry.
Authorities said Kenan had a U.S. passport as well as a camera, laptop and dagger. Kenan said he was in the region to meet "Habibullah," the police official said.
Habibullah is a proper name in Afghanistan and is the name of an Afghan detainee who died in U.S. custody in 2002. The name means "God's beloved" or "God's favorite" in Arabic.
Kenan has been moved to the Shabqadar police station for further questioning, Khan said.
