British Official Employs Novel Method To Get Rid of Unwanted Wife

Photo of Possible Pakistani Terrorist Women

British Immigration official fired for putting wife's name on terrorist watch list

1/31/2011

An immigration officer put his own wife on a terrorist watch list – ­so she could not get home from a trip to Pakistan.

The officer was so sick of his partner that when she was visiting family overseas he added her name to the register of people banned from flights into the UK.

When she went to the airport for her return flight officials told her she could not board the plane and would not ­explain why.

She called her husband, who told her he would look into it – but his "look" took THREE YEARS. He was dismissed after his bosses found out about his activities.

In defense of his actions, the fired official offered the above photo as proof of his wife's terrorist activities. He told British officials his wife was the woman wearing a veil. He said he was protecting the British people from terrorism.

Immigration officials were skeptical of the man's story and the photo and pointed out that the officer should have gone through the proper channels. An immigration source said: “A lot of people may dislike their other halves but to do this takes it to the next level."

The immigration source added: “He may have lost his job but he is a bit of a legend in immigration circles. It will be talked about for years as the officer who hated his wife so much he put her on a watch list.”

The wife claimed confusion when she got to the airport and said she had never been involved in anything criminal or terrorist related. Evidently, her British husband had reason to think otherwise and believed he was acting in defense of the Crown. God save the Queen.

It was not immediately clear what became of the wife. It was rumored she had been "taken in" by the Taliban for re-education after being tainted by her infidel way of life in England. A spokeswoman for the Taliban said the woman probably would be caned with 30 to 40 strokes and left to beg in the streets of Islamabad, which used to be Karachi before the Taliban, but definitely would not be stoned to death. The Taliban is working on its international image.
