Two Americans Face Islamic Justice in Pakistan for a Crime They Say They Didn’t Commit”

BYLINE: Steve Coll, Washington Post Foreign Service

SECTION: STYLE; PAGE B1

LENGTH: 2221 words

DATELINE: PESHAWAR, Pakistan, Oct. 1, 1991

SNIPPET: “For the moment, however, things appear to be going from bad to worse for the Boyds, U.S. citizens who converted to Islam several years ago and moved to Pakistan to do relief work for Afghanistan’s mujaheddin rebels.”

SNIPPET: “Daniel and Charles Boyd are two of five sons born to Thornton Boyd and his wife, Patricia. Their father was a career U.S. Marine, stationed at one point at Quantico. The parents divorced in 1977 and Pat, a secretary for a Washington lawyer, married William Saddler, an American Muslim whom she described in an interview in Washington as “intellectual and deep and decent.””
