| [DAWN] RAWALPINDI: Local leader of Jamaat-e-Islami ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... (JI) and former union council nazim ...small time big shot, the chief elected official of a local government in Pakistan, such as a district, tehsil, union council, or village council... of Dhoke Khabba was rubbed out by two motorcyclists at the bustling Glass Factory Chowk on Monday. SHO Waris Khan Inspector Malik Allahyar told Dawn that the incident was the outcome of a rivalry as the victim's nephew was involved in a murder case which was still under trial. "The attackers had covered their faces with masks," he said. Mohammad Tahir Khan, in charge labour wing of Jamaat-e-Islami and former president Shabaab-e-Milli, was on his way to attend a funeral prayer when two cycle of violence riders, who the police said were chasing his car, blocked his way and opened fire on him. The JI leader was shifted to Benazir Bhutto ... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in... Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! As the news of the JI leader's killing spread in the city, a large number of his supporters gathered in the hospital and protested against the killing. JI front man Malik Azam told Dawn: "The JI strongly condemns the killing of its leader and demands of the chief minister Punjab to direct the police to arrest the killers and bring them to justice." "Punjab police are busy performing protocol duties instead of doing their prime duty of policing," he said. |
