| 'Qaeda Punjab' threatens UN over female drivers |
| 2008-03-07 |
| A previously unknown extremist group calling itself “Al Qaeda Punjab” has threatened to destroy United Nations (UN) offices in Pakistan if the newly inducted two women drivers in UNICEF are not fired within a month, according to an e-mail and letter that was sent to the UN operations chief. UN Islamabad security adviser Joe Gordon has asked the Islamabad police superintendent, in a letter, to trace the unknown extremist outfit and tighten security of UN offices. Police has set up an investigation team in this regard. UN Security Operations Officer Suleman Khan could not be contacted despite repeated telephone calls. Sources quoted the content of the email as, “Dear Muslim brothers, convey our message to foreigners that they have started hiring women drivers to spread vulgarity. Have men vanished? A woman working in office is tolerable, but the UN is insulting women by hiring them as drivers. UNICEF has committed a mistake by hiring the two women in Islamabad. We are warning UNICEF that if it does not expel the women drivers, we will destroy its office. Three of our associates are working with the UN under the car rental business. We will destroy UN offices in Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta and Peshawar if [our demands are not met]. Ignoring this letter will be a mistake. From Abu Al-Hassan, the information secretary Al Qaeda Punjab.” |
