Five young American Muslims admitted traveling to Pakistan for jihad, and were on their way to a training camp when they were swept up in an anti-terrorism raid, according to Pakistani law enforcement officials.

The Americans allegedly met with representatives of an Al Qaeda-linked group and asked for training but were turned down because they lacked references from trusted militants, officials said Thursday.

They were arrested Wednesday at a house in Sargodha linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, a banned military organization, Pakistani officers said. This is the same group suspected in the abduction of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.

Investigators are sharing their findings with FBI officials now in Sargodha.

"asked for training but were turned down because they lacked references from trusted militants,"
so, in other words, it's difficult to infilitrate Al Quaeda ??
