Musharraf expected to crack down on madrassas
Pakistani President Musharraf is expected "in the next week or two" to impose strict new rules on the madrassas, which have nurtured young holy warriors for recruitment into Afghanistan's Taliban. A new law establishes a 20-member Religious and Sectarian Harmony Commission to oversee the religious schools and to write a code of ethics guarding against inflammatory statements by clerics.
