The secret strategy behind Bill Clinton's 2000 trip to Pakistan
During his March 2000 visit, Bill Clinton employed a decoy flight to travel safely from India into Pakistan, a region considered high-risk at the time. The President arrived on an unmarked private jet, while a separate aircraft bearing official US markings landed ahead of him to act as a distraction. To further the illusion, a Secret Service agent who looked like Clinton stepped off the US-marked plane, leading onlookers to believe the President had just landed.
