Credit: Reuters/Faisal Mahmood SARGODHA Pakistan (Reuters) - Five American students were on Thursday sentenced to 10 years in jail for contacting militants online and plotting attacks by a court in Pakistan, fighting its own battle with Islamist radicals. World The students, in their 20s, were detained in December in Pakistan's central city of Sargodha, 190 km (120 miles) southeast of Islamabad. Deputy Prosecutor Rana Bakhtiar said the men were convicted on two counts each, with one carrying a 10-year sentence and the other carrying five years, to be served concurrently. They were also fined a total of 70,000 rupees ($820). "Both these sentences will begin concurrently and in practice they will spend 10 years in jail. We will appeal in the high court to enhance the sentence," Bakhtiar told reporters. Waqar Hussain Khan, Ahmed Minni, Ramy Zamzam, Aman Yemer and Umar Farooq were each charged with five counts of conspiracy, raising funds for terrorist acts, planning war against Pakistan, directing others to launch attacks and attempting to cross the Afghan border illegally. Deputy prosecutor Bakhtiar said the court issued the 10-year sentences for conspiracy and five years for raising funds. The other charges were dropped. HIGH SECURITY FOR SENTENCING The sentencing took place amid high security and journalists were not allowed inside the courtroom. Lawyers from both sides announced the sentences outside the jail. The five men told the court earlier that they only wanted to provide fellow Muslim brothers in Afghanistan with medicine and financial help, and accused the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and Pakistani police of torturing them and trying to frame them. Hassan Katchela, a defense lawyer for the group, said the sentences would be appealed. "We are a bit surprised because we believed it was not a case for conviction," he said. "We are confident and we are going to file appeals against these conviction in the high court." After the sentencing, one of the men's father expressed his dismay. "It's the greatest disappointment," said Khalid Farooq, father of Umar Farooq. "The judge didn't even bother to go through evidence against them. It was so weak." Two of the five are of Pakistani origin. The others are from Egyptian, Yemeni and Eritrean origins. The students were arrested days after arriving in Pakistan last year. Pakistani police said emails showed they contacted militants, who had planned to use them for attacks in Pakistan.

But it’s a good start. ooddballz Report As Abusive Jun 24, 2010 7:03am EDT Hmmmm,no no no, the CIA did not finance and equip Osama Bin Laden, no no no It ain’t Americans that are financing Afghan and Porkistani drug lords in the so called GWOT….and no no no firms like American Express and Citibank are not Osama Bin Laden owed….. OFCOURSE, the Porkistanis arrested are American citizens, just as the ones who facilitated 9/11 were….dual citizens or immigrants….. Still have your head buried in sand? “Oh we told you so but you never listened!” Lame excuse. Here’s another heads up: (Inshallah the Virgin hoors of Paradise will bless the martyrs who are disguised as green card holders in the US with lots of sex, (once they blow up America, preferably with a dirty nuke!) Inshallah Obama will wear a Hijab to proclaim his true identity!) Bobthornton Report As Abusive Jun 24, 2010 9:46am EDT That’s a good start for Pakistan. They should also go after the rest of the clan that supported this adventure. The claim that they were tortured into confessing is laughable. That’s the AQ playbook 101.

Exclusive: How MI5 blackmails British Muslims ‘Work for us or we will say you are a terrorist’ By Robert Verkaik, Law Editor Three of the men say they were detained at foreign airports on the orders of MI5 after leaving Britain on family holidays last year. After they were sent back to the UK, they were interviewed by MI5 officers who, they say, falsely accused them of links to Islamic extremism. On each occasion the agents said they would lift the travel restrictions and threat of detention in return for their co-operation. When the men refused some of them received what they say were intimidating phone calls and threats. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/exclusive-how-mi5-blackmails-british-muslims-1688618.html Home Secretary was warned of MI5’s ‘blackmailing of Muslims’ By Robert Verkaik, Home Affairs Editor The Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, was warned nine months ago about MI5’s alleged campaign of blackmail and intimidation against a group of young Muslim men, The Independent has learnt. Veteran Labour MP Frank Dobson wrote to Ms Smith http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/home-secretary-was-warned-of-mi5s-blackmailing-of-muslims-1689212.html ‘work for us or we will say you are a terrorist’ Mohamed Nur, 25, a community youth worker from north London, claims he was threatened by the Security Service after an agent gained access to his home accompanied by a police officer posing as a postman. “The MI5 agent said, ‘Mohamed if you do not work for us we will tell any foreign country you try to travel to that you are a suspected terrorist.’” http://www.somalilandpatriots.com/news-7973-0 Israel’s Dark Art of Ensnaring Palestinian Collaborators According to the Israeli branch of Physicians for Human Rights, the Shin Bet is exploiting the distress of these families to pressure them to agree to collaborate in return for an exit permit.
