SARGODHA,: A local court on Friday remanded to police for another 10 days, the five American suspects held from the city early this week, to allow police to complete their investigations. The men were detained in Pakistan earlier this month on suspicion of trying to contact Al-Qaeda-linked organisations and engage in militant activities in the country.
Judge Mohammad Aslam in the court in Sargodha said he was extending their detention for another 10 days following a police request, and ordered the police to produce the suspects on January 4. "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," senior police official Haseeb Shah told media men.
The men, who are all US citizens with dual nationality including two Pakistani-Americans, have also been questioned by the FBI. INP
