United States citizen Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, director of the Kashmir American Council (KAC), pleaded guilty yesterday to hiding the fact that the Pakistani military and Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) paid him to lobby the U.S. government in regards to a Pakistan-India territorial dispute.

“For the last 20 years, Mr. Fai secretly took millions of dollars from Pakistani intelligence and lied about it to the U.S. government,” said U.S. Attorney Neil MacBride said in a statement. “As a paid operative of ISI, he did the bidding of his handlers in Pakistan while he met with U.S. elected officials, funded high-profile conferences and promoted the Kashmiri cause to decision-makers in Washington.”
