A Pakistani court has rejected an asylum plea for the five arrested youths from Virginia.
A Pakistani court on Friday dismissed a petition seeking asylum in the name of ‘holy war’ for five American Muslim youths recently arrested in the country for allegedly planning terror attacks, saying that it was not the duty of the judiciary to define ‘jihad’.
Generally, I’m skeptical of media sensationalism, but assuming this court action has their assent, these guys are sounding quite radicalized and intent on violence.
Also, I’m adding the ‘tag’ Virginia 5,’ because that’s how the US media is generally referring to them now.
