Cabinet authorises MoU between NAB and FBI
ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet Tuesday authorised the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) despite opposition from Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen Mazari.
Shireen Mazari believes that the NAB-FBI agreement will open another political Pandoraâs box and a new debate will kick start. She believes that NAB and FBI are two different institutions and their MoU would be illogical. She said NAB is an anti-corruption institution, while the FBI deals with internal security and law and order.

The FBI said that the pranksters often spoof the calls, making them look like it came from the victim s home. As the SWAT team or law and enforcement agents break into the victims house, pranksters live-stream the video by taking over security cameras.
