Taliban insurgents had planned to use five Americans
detained in Pakistan, who had contacted the militant group through the
Internet, to carry out attacks inside the U.S. ally, a police official
said on Saturday.

Usman Anwar, police chief in Sargodha, where the men
were arrested this month, said emails had also revealed plans for the
young men from Virginia to travel to a Pakistani nuclear power plant.

“We believe that they were supposed to be used inside Pakistan,” Anwar told Reuters by telephone.

“In their last email to the Taliban, we found they mentioned
the Chashma Nuclear Plant and that’s why they were going to
Mianwali (district).”
