Pakistan's military has arrested Lt. Gen. Faiz Hameed, a former head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and ally of ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan, marking a significant and unprecedented event.
Hameed, who served as the spy chief under Khan and went into early retirement after Khan's ouster in 2022, faces court-martial proceedings. The charges, though not fully disclosed, are related to a housing project scheme during Khan's tenure.
This arrest is notable as it is the first time a current or former leader of the ISI, one of the country's most powerful institutions, will face such proceedings.
