US 'jihad seekers' were planning to attack Pak's Chashma nuke plant | The five US origin terror suspects, who were arrested
from Sargodha earlier this month, were planning to attack the Chasma Nuclear Power Plant and other strategic establishments in the country, a private television
channel has reported. The Daily Times reported Sargodha Cantonment Station
House
Officer, Amir Sherazi, as saying that the suspects had disclosed their nefarious
plans during the interrogation. Earlier, local Pakistani court extended the custody
of the terror suspects for 10 more days till January 4. All the five 'jihad seekers'
were produced before an anti-terrorism court in Sargodha on Friday, following
which Judge Mohammad Aslam extended their custody on the plea of the police,
which
said that more time was needed to complete the investigations. "We do not think
that a 10-day remand is sufficient to investigate this complex matter. At next
hearing we may ask for more time," a foreign news agency quoted a senior Pakistani
police official, Haseeb Shah, as saying. During the hearing, another police official,
Amir Abbas told the court that during investigations, officials scanned the common
email accounts of the suspects in which the name of a Pakistani nuclear plant
was mentioned. Pakistan has made it clear that the men, all in their late 20s,
would not be deported to the US and that they would be prosecuted in the country
itself. |
