The BBC report that:
'Five Americans have each been sentenced to 10 years in jail by a court in Pakistan after being found guilty of terrorism charges, prosecutors say.'
Indeed they are Americans but I would have thought their religion might have been what connected them, being as they were
'convicted of conspiring to commit terrorist attacks on Pakistani soil and of funding banned jihadist groups.'
Further into the article we learn that:
'The men have been identified as Ramy Zamzam, of Egyptian descent, Waqar Khan and Umar Farooq of Pakistani descent, and Aman Hassan Yemer and Ahmed Minni, who are of Ethiopian descent.'
and that:
'The case is one of several involving alleged "home-grown" American Muslim militants linked to Pakistan.'
So maybe the headline rather than read
'Five US men convicted of Pakistan 'terror plot''
should have read
'Five Islamic jihadi immigrants to the convicted of Pakistan 'terror plot''
Just a thought...
