Pakistan has dropped charges against an FBI agent who was arrested for carrying ammunition.
Police told the Karachi court they were dropping the case after the government confirmed Joel Cox was authorised to carry arms for 'personal protection'.
Cox was held under anti-terrorism laws after security staff found 15 bullets for a 9mm handgun in his luggage ahead of a flight from Karachi to Islamabad.
Police added that no weapon was found so Cox could not be booked under the Illegal Arms Act.
According to the BBC, the US government said that he was on a temporary mission in Pakistan.
He was bailed on a bond of 10,000 dollars.
