Five missing Americans may have been arrested in a raid in Pakistan on Wednesday. The FBI is launching an investigation looking for the five American students who are believed to have left Washington D.C. to join a terrorist group.
At least three of the arrested during the raid in Pakistan held dual U.S.-Pakistan citizen passports.
The families of the missing men 'raised concerns' with The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) who called in the F.B.I., according to
Fox News.
The five missing students have been listed on a
Facebook page titled "In Support of Our Missing Brothers: May Allah Bring Them to Safety."
It is being reported that the students left behind a farewell
video saying that Muslims had to be defended.
PRNewswire reports:
"The Muslim community has taken the lead in bringing this case to the attention of law enforcement authorities and will offer ongoing cooperation with the FBI as the investigation moves forward," said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.
RTT News is reporting that one American was arrested in Sargodha on suspicion of having links to terrorism along with four others. The
arrested have been identified as Ahmed Abdullah, Waqar Hassan Khan, Eman Hassan, Yasir and Rami Zamzam.
