Islamabad sealed for fear of suicide attacks
 The Islamabad administration sealed the capital early on Saturday to avoid possible suicide attacks. Policemen have been deployed at all entry and exit points of the city and they have been ordered to check all vehicles and people thoroughly before allowing them into the capital. About 10 to 15 policemen are manning each entry and exit points and four-member teams have been formed to patrol the areas close to Rawalpindi, especially Sector I. Daily Times learnt that intelligence agencies have informed the Interior Ministry that there is a possibility of suicide attacks in the city in reaction to the Lal Masjid operation. Policemen have been deployed at markets, important buildings and other public places. Gates of several police stations were closed and visitors were being thoroughly checked before they entered the buildings. Posted by: Fred 2007-07-08 |
