FBI searches home of former envoy labelled 'Lady Taliban'
The FBI has searched the home of a veteran US diplomat known for her close links with Pakistan, as part of a reported investigation into foreign spying against America.
Federal agents also searched Robin Raphel's office at the State Department and her security clearance has been withdrawn as the investigation unfolds.
Mrs Raphel was a senior US envoy to south-east Asia under Bill Clinton and later returned to the State Department under Barack Obama to oversee the distribution of US aid to Pakistan.
During a brief stint outside of government, she worked as a lobbyist for Pakistan in Washington.
