Half of foreign "students" decide maybe they don't want to be in madrassahs
2002-04-08
  • Scores of foreign students have reportedly left the hostels of local deeni madaris following reports that a hunt is being launched against the associates and sympathizers of Al Qaeda members rounded up on March 28. FBI personnel with the assistance of Pakistani agencies had rounded up over four dozen people during raids on the charge of having links with Al Qaeda. The arrest of another six 'important' Al Qaeda men from Muslim Town came to light on Saturday.

    It was learnt during visits to the main religious madaris of the city on Sunday that over 50 per cent students from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Turkemenistan, Egypt, Tunis, Thailand, and other Arab countries have either shifted to rented houses and other places or returned to their respective countries during the last week.
    Now doesn't that come as a surprise? Wonder if they took their guns and rocket launchers with them?
