In Pakistan, five jailed US citizens have been formally charged with plotting terrorist attacks following their arrest last year. The five, all male students in their twenties, are accused of seeking to join militant groups to fight US troops in Afghanistan. They were arrested in December after their families reported them missing back home in Virginia. They’ve claimed they’ve been tortured since their arrest and had traveled to Pakistan only to help provide financial and medical support to fellow Muslims in Afghanistan.
