Pakistani held in Chile for traces of explosives in US embassy

So this Pakistani guy walks into the US Embassy in Santiago and sets off explosives detectors, but I’m sure that’s pretty common. It’s probably not-at-all related to terrorism;

Embassy detectors were set off by traces of bomb-making substances when Mohammed Saif Ur Rehman went in for an interview, said Mario Schilling, a spokesman for the prosecutor in the case.

Schilling did not elaborate on what kind of explosives were involved or say whether Rehman, 28, was suspected of any criminal activity.

U.S. Ambassador Paul Simon told Chile’s radio Cooperativa that it doesn’t seem to have been an attack.

“It was just traces and they were detected during the interview,” Simon said, referring further questions to police.

In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the suspect already held a U.S. visa, and had been invited to the Embassy “to clarify the information we had on him.” Crowley declined to say more about that information.

“Just traces”. See, nothing to worry about. “Just traces” have never been tied to any real explosions. He was probably just building bombs to blow up something not American and forgot to wash his grubby paws. That’s why he was in the Embassy-they have great plumbing.
