Only NBC followed up on Wednesday's arrest of five students from the Washington DC area in Sarghoda, a city in the Pakistani province of Punjab. The quintet, all American citizens, worshipped at a mosque in Virginia: "Moslem groups say they must do more to counter widespread videos that radicalize some Americans by painting a violent and distorted picture of Islam," Pete Williams generalized.
Pakistani police alleged that the five had jihad on their minds even as NBC's Williams suggested that there was not much to their plan: "When the men tried to join up with two separate terror groups in eastern Pakistan they were turned away, considered suspicious because they did not know the language, had no training and had no real terror contacts," Williams' unidentified "official" sources told him. "They were beginning to get cold feet"…they were "jokers"…was what other sources added.
