The five Muslim students were being questioned on Saturday by police and intelligence agents in the city of Lahore, where they were taken in the morning, Usmar said Anwar, chief of police in Sargodha.
Agents FBI, who have had access to detainees, trying to determine if there is enough evidence to charge them with conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist group, said on Friday a U.S. official and a person familiar with the case. They spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation.
The case has raised fears that Americans and other Westerners especially _in paquistani_ descent are traveling to Pakistan for joining al Qaeda and other militant groups.

He did not elaborate on the recruiter or the nature of the contacts, but added that Saifullah may have planned to carry five to Mianwali , a district near the Northwest Frontier Province, a region where they have proliferated the Taliban and al Qaeda.
“His mission was to martyrdom. This is the same that told the team FBI legal assistance, “said Anwar. “They have said openly that came to be martyrs.”
Pakistani police said the five wanted to join the militants in the tribal regions of northwest before entering Afghanistan. They are accused of having used the social contact network Facebook and YouTube to try to connect with extremist groups in Pakistan.
