Permalink Pakistan charges five US terror suspects

A Pakistani court has indicted five Americans on terror charges that could see them jailed for life if found guilty of plotting attacks with Al Qaeda-linked groups. The five US citizens aged 18 to 25 denied the charges, which were read out in an anti-terrorism court convened in the district jail of the eastern city Sargodha where they were arrested in December. "Charges have been laid against all the accused. All these charges are terrorism related. The offences are punishable by life imprisonment," defence lawyer Shahid Kamal said.
