The arrested militants are accused of trying to contact al-Qaeda-linked groups in the tribal areas.
LAHORE: Pakistan police said Thursday they would seek terror charges and life imprisonment for five American men arrested for allegedly trying to link up with militants.
A court in the town of Sargodha last Friday remanded the five American militant suspects in custody for another 10 days after police sought more time to complete their investigations.
The men were detained in Pakistan in December on suspicion of trying to contact al-Qaeda-linked organisations and engage in militant activities, possibly in the lawless northwest, where militants have power bases.
‘Our investigation is complete and we will request the court during the next hearing to put the five men on trial under the anti-terrorism act and hand them down life imprisonment,’ senior police official Tahir Gujjar told AFP.
