A former Afghan interpreter who was listed on a leaked dataset is among six people who made their way into Pakistan for a flight to Britain, only to be told they were unable to make the trip.
The individuals were accepted for sanctuary in the UK after serving with British trips during Nato's 20-year Afghanistan operation.
They made the perilous journey past Taliban checkpoints to Islamabad, some of them having waited two years, living in a hotel.

A former frontline interpreter who helped British troops in Helmand for two years is named on the leaked dataset - which was the subject of the super injunction lifted last month, according to The Times.
