“Pakistani Court Denies Bail, Accused American Jihadists Claim Torture”
by IPT News • Feb 18, 2010 at 9:32 am
SNIPPET: “A Pakistani court on Wednesday rejected bail applications for five Americans who allegedly traveled there last year to carry out jihad. The five Northern Virginia men, who were arrested in December on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks, are scheduled to appear in court again March 2.”
SNIPPET: “Supporters of the suspects - Howard University dental student Ramy Zamzam; Eritrean native Ahmed Abdullah Minni; Aman Hassan Yemer, an Ethiopian; Waqar Khan; and Umar Chaudhry - claim they have been tortured in Pakistani custody.”
SNIPPET: “Prosecutors successfully argued that the men should remain in custody because Pakistan’s laws do not allow bail for terror suspects accused of crimes carrying a prison sentence of longer than 10 years. Pakistani authorities said the five “were of the opinion that a jihad must be waged against the infidels for the atrocities committed by them against Muslims around the world.””

A source with intimate knowledge of the investigation, which is ongoing, told CBN News investigators suspect the “Fort Jackson Five” may have been in contact with the group of five Washington, DC area Muslims that traveled to Pakistan to wage jihad against U.S. troops in December. That group was arrested by Pakistani authorities, also just before Christmas.
This group has a connection to Fort Hood shooter major Hassan via the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church Va:

Federal investigators are searching for a Howard University dental student and four other missing Muslim men reported missing from the Washington, D.C. area, the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) has learned. There is concern they may have been sent abroad to train for jihad.
The five were last seen November 29.The identities of two of the missing men, Howard student Ramy Zamzam and Waqar Khan, have been mentioned in online postings, including a Facebook page that was set up Monday for friends to offer their support. Some of those pages, however, appear restricted to friends and associates.
It is not clear where the men are believed to have gone, but an informed source told the IPT that at least one left behind a farewell video.According to the Facebook and Twitter postings, Zamzam is among the missing. He has been active in the Muslim Students Association, serving as president of the MSA DC Council.

DECEMBER 29, 2009 : (OBAMA ADMIN HOLDING BACK INFO FROM CONGRESS) The Obama administration’s handling of the Christmas Day terror plot has been “schizophrenic” says King. “It’s reflective of their handling of other incidents. They still haven’t given us any information on Fort Hood. Even with the gate crashers, they’ve refused to give us on information on communications between the White House social secretary and the Secret Service. They’re giving us nothing and Democrats in Congress are very reluctant to have any meaningful investigations.” Politics, not national security, is driving these decisions, says King. “They’re holding back because they don’t want to share embarrassing material.” (Excerpt) Read more at corner.nationalreview.com ...———King: White House blocking NW 253 investigation by Congress National Review Online ^ | 12/29/2009 | Robert Costa Posted on Tuesday, December 29, 2009 8:43:49 PM by Prospero
