Three of those indicted, including two South Florida imams, were arrested yesterday in the U.S., the Justice Department said yesterday in a statement. The others are at large in Pakistan. All are charged with supporting a conspiracy to murder, maim and kidnap persons overseas as well as aiding the Pakistani Taliban, which has vowed to retaliate against the U.S. for killing al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
