Pak army tries 5 officers over extremist ties | |||
2012-02-12 | |||
ISLAMABAD: Security officials say the Pakistani army has started court martial proceedings against a brigadier and four other officers over suspected ties to a banned extremist group that has called for ousting the US-backed government.
Two senior security officials said the military trial started recently but did not provide any other details. It was also not clear yet where the trial is taking place and what punishment the officers face, if convicted.
Western officials have long suspected some Pakistani military officials of having ties to Islamist groups.
