 ISLAMABAD: Prominent local religious leader of the city, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed, on Monday narrowly escaped when unidentified persons made an attempt on his life near Kaghan Road while he was heading towards Jamia Faridia, an islamic seminary, to deliver a sermon, police told Daily Times. According to details, Ghazi was going to the seminary in Sector E-7 after morning prayers at Lal Mosque when an unidentified car, which had been tailing him from Lal Mosque, crept alongside Ghazi's car. The occupants of the other car were reportedly about to open fire when a vehicle coming from the opposite direction drew their attention. Ghazi, who was carrying a weapon himself, opened fire at the assailants, who managed to escape from the scene.
