5 get 10 years for terrorism.

Five Americans have been convicted of terrorism charges in Pakistan, a prosecutor in Sargodha, Pakistan says. The D.C. area residents will get at least 10 years in prison each. Pakistan has identified the men as Ramy Zamzam, Waqar Khan, Umar Farooq, Aman Hassan Yemer, and Ahmed Minni; two are of Pakistani descent, the others Egyptian or Ethiopian. The men were arrested after their families reported them missing in December, and they have the right to an appeal. American officials have not offered much comment on the case.
