FBI Probes Suspects Arrested in Pakistan


The FBI said it was probing the case of five ‘terror suspects’ arrested in Pakistan, one of whom made an “farewell” video before leaving his home in the United States.
The five were arrested in Sargodha, south of Islamabad, at the home of a member of the banned militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad, on suspicion of plotting an attack, Pakistani district police chief Usman Anwar told AFP Wednesday.

Pakistani officials said the men were two Yemenis, one Egyptian, one Swede and a Pakistani-American. Muslim leaders in Washington said the men had been living in northern Virginia, close to the US capital, with their families until they disappeared last month.
An official at the Pakistani embassy in Washington said they are “all of US origin,” but Federal Bureau of Investigations officials gave no confirmation of their nationalities.
