| [DAWN] Following a dramatic midnight raid on the Madressah Haqqania that led to at least four arrests on Thursday night, the capital police on Saturday booked the seminary's administrator under the Anti-Terrorism Act and the Maintenance of Public Order, but no arrests were made, officials told Dawn. Following the raid, Qari Ahsanullah -- who is also the khateeb of the adjoining Masjid Qasmia -- had delivered a Friday sermon that severely criticised the police action against the seminary. Police had taken at least four men into custody from the seminary. The suspects are said to be linked to the Attock bombing that claimed the life of Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... home minister Col Shuja Khanzada. After receiving information about the alleged use of hate speech by the holy man, the Special Branch were asked by the Central Police Office to investigate the issue. They were also tasked with preparing a report on the khateeb's more incendiary speeches and recommending legal action against him, sources said. "The Special Branch probe found that the khateeb targeted security forces and the government in the speech and declared them agents of foreign intelligence agencies," an official told Dawn. |
