US nationals case: Verdict on Thursday
The Sargodha ATC concluded the trial of five US nationals who were suspected of having links with militants.
The arrested US nationals termed allegations against them as baseless.
KARACHI: The Sargodha Anti Terrorism Court on Wednesday concluded the trial of five US nationals who were suspected of having links with militants.
The verdict will be announced on Thursday.
Public prosecutor Nadeem Akram Cheema said the government would appeal any acquittal.
The US nationals – Aman, Ahmad, Waqar, Rami and Umar Farooq – have been facing terrorism charges since December 9, 2009. They were arrested from Sargodha, allegedly trying to join Taliban militants in the fight against US troops in Afghanistan.
They will face life imprisonment if convicted. They are denying the accusations, saying they came to Pakistan to attend a wedding and intended to travel to Afghanistan to do humanitarian work.

Shouldn’t talk about the judgment
which is to be announced by the court
it is not only illegal but also against the honor of the court
it mean baseless interference in the matter relating to justice.
Witnesses,
circumstance evidence,
statement,
confessional statement,
and other ingredients that are essential for justice
are enough.
and enough mean enough.Recommend
