Pakistan: Anti-terror court convicts 5 Americans
None
Five American men were convicted Thursday on terror charges by a Pakistani court and sentenced to 10 years in prison in a case that heightened concerns about Westerners traveling to Pakistan to contact al-Qaeda and other Islamist extremist groups.
The trial of the young Muslim men from the Washington, DC, area was sensitive for the US, which has a duty to insure justice for its citizens but also has pushed Pakistan to crack down on militancy. (AP)
