An ailing American on a solo mission to kill Usama bin Laden was going for his “last hurrah” when he flew to Pakistan to hunt the master terrorist, but he was detained by Pakistani police before he found his prey.
Gary Brooks Faulkner, a 50-year-old construction contractor from Colorado, was picked up in a remote forest near the Pakistan/Afghanistan border carrying a pistol, a 40-inch sword and night-vision equipment, according to Pakistani police.
Faulkner’s brother said he did not know how he acquired the sword and pistol Pakistani authorities said he was carrying when they detained him in a town in the Chitral Forest.
