Three UK-born Pakistanis sent to jail
The Federal Review Board (FRB) on Thursday sent three UK-born Pakistanis Rangzeb, Rashid Rauf and Khalid to Adiala prison for two months each. They are charged with alleged involvement in a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners. Rauf protested against the board decision, saying that he was sent to jail despite an anti-terrorism court having already acquitted him. The board directed the Interior Ministry to arrange a meeting of Rauf with his family within 15 days. The FRB also ordered his medical check up every fortnight.
