A Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find Osama Bin Laden has been jailed for at least 30 years, officials say.
Shakil Afridi was charged with treason and tried under the tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information.
Shortly after the raid on Bin Laden's house, Dr Afridi was arrested for conspiring against the state of Pakistan.
Pakistan has insisted that any country would have done the same if it found one of its citizens working for a foreign spy agency.
Dr Afridi has been found guilty in Khyber district, and has also been fined $3,500. If he does not pay the fine his prison sentence will be extended by a further three years.
Under the tribal justice system, the administrative head of a tribal district performs the function of a judge.
The following sentence of the above is not correct. I am not sure.

It should be the following:
Pakistan insisted that any country would have done the same if it found one of its citizens working for a foreign spy agency.
'Pakistan has insisted' means an ongoing affair.
The words 'would have done' means some action they did in the past. I am not sure.
