Three of those indicted live in Florida, the others in Pakistan

Miami - Six people in Florida and Pakistan have been charged with providing financing and material support to the Pakistani Taliban, a designated foreign terrorist organization, U.S. federal officials said on Saturday.

The indictment was announced by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida and local FBI agents at a time when relations with Pakistan are strained over the raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

Three of the accused, who are all originally from Pakistan, were U.S. citizens arrested in South Florida and Los Angeles. They include two Imans, or Muslim religious leaders, from mosques in Florida.

The other three charged were living in Pakistan and still at large.

All six were charged in a four-count indictment with being involved in a conspiracy to "murder, maim and kidnap persons overseas," as well with conspiring to provide $50,000 to the Pakistani Taliban.

Pakistan's parliament on Saturday condemned the raid that killed bin Laden and called for a review of relations with the United States.

Two of the accused, Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, 76, and his son, Izhar Khan, 24, were arrested in South Florida. Another son, Irfan Khan, 37, was detained in Los Angeles.

Hafiz Khan is the Imam at the Miami Mosque, also known as the Flagler Mosque, in Miami. His son, Izhar Khan, is an Imam at the Jamaat Al-Mu'mineen Mosque in Margate, Florida, the four-count indictment said.

The other three charged, Ali Rehman, Alam Zeb and Amina Khan, were living in Pakistan and still at large. Amina Khan is the daughter of Hafiz Khan and her son, Alam Zeb, is his grandson.

"The defendants sought to aid the Pakistani Taliban's fight against the Pakistani government and its perceived allies, including the United States, by supporting acts of murder, kidnapping, and maiming in Pakistan and elsewhere," said the indictment released by the U.S. attorney's office in Miami.

If convicted, each faced a potential 15 years in prison for each count of the indictment.

"Let me be clear that this is not an indictment against a particular community or religion. Instead, today's indictment charges six individuals for promoting terror and violence through their financial and other support of the Pakistani Taliban," the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Wifredo A. Ferrer, said in a statement.

The Pakistani Taliban is classified as a "designated foreign terrorist organization" by the U.S. government.
