The 27-year-old man, arrested in Bannu district last month, has been identified as Chinese national Muhammad Yousuf, Dawn reported Monday.
It was initially thought that he was a Turkish national. Sources said that during interrogation it came to light that he was a Chinese national, who uses the 'codename' of Muhammad Ali.
The media report said that Yousuf is said to be a resident of Beijing. Around $50,000, Chinese Yuan and Islamic literature were found in his possession.
