A Chilean court ordered back to jail Saturday a Pakistani man who had been briefly detained and charged after being found with traces of explosives at the US embassy here, officials said.
The court designated 28-year-old Muhammad Saif-ur-Rehman Khan "a danger to society" and revoked his freedom after he was released last week on probation following charges of illegally possessing weapons, but not of violating an anti-terror law.
Khan, an intern at a Santiago hotel, had gone to the embassy after being called in for a discussion about his US visa, which had been revoked. As he went through a security check, embassy officials discovered traces of a TNT explosive on his hands, cell phone, bag and documents.
