Pak to deport arrested US terror suspects only after complete investigations | All the five detained US origin terror suspects would
be deported as soon as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) completes its investigations, a senior Pakistan Interior Ministry official has said. "A five-member
FBI team along with Pakistani intelligence officials, a legal advisor and a political
counsellor of the US embassy Islamabad is engaged in grilling the five Americas
about their alleged links with militant organizations and future plans. As soon
as the investigations are over, they will be deported to their country," said
the official. The official said the arrest of the five men, all in their early
and mid 20s, was a matter of concern for Pakistan as well, so it was important
to know what was there future plan of action and their modus operandi in order
to prevent such incidents in future. "It's not the matter concerning to the US
only. We too are concerned about this. Therefore, our interrogators are also grilling
them to know about their aides here, and their future plans," The News quoted
the official, as saying. Earlier, Interior Minister Rehman Malik had said the
five Americans arrested from Sargodha on charges of seeking 'jihad' would not
be deported until investigations were completed. "We will first see which laws
they have violated. Once our law enforcement authorities clear them, only then
can we deport them," Malik said. Malik told media persons during a press conference
here that US Ambassador Anne Patterson had informed him in writing about the five
US national, who were arriving in Pakistan with "bad intentions". "Acting on the
information, our law enforcement authorities arrested the Americans," he said,
while denying their immediate deportation. Sargodha police chief Usman Anwar told
media persons that the men, who had come to Pakistan to join terror camps being
operated by the Taliban in tribal areas along the Afghan border. Anwar also disclosed
that the men used the social networking site Facebook and the Internet video site
YouTube to try to connect with extremist groups based in terror hot beds of Pakistan. |
