Pakistan accuses Indian diplomats of spying

(3 Nov 2016) Pakistan's foreign ministry spokesman on Thursday said that authorities uncovered a network of eight Indian spies who were pretending to work as diplomats at the Indian Embassy in the capital, Islamabad.
Nafees Zakaria told a news conference in Islamabad that Pakistan is considering options for further action against the eight Indians.
It was not clear whether Pakistan will expel them, but it is likely that India will withdraw them.
He also said that Pakistan had recalled six of its diplomats from New Delhi after their names were leaked to Indian media.
The incidents came a week after Pakistan and India expelled each other's embassy staff on espionage charges.
