PESHAWAR: The NWFP Assembly offered fateha (prayers) on Wednesday for Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, who was recently killed. Shagufta Naz of the MMA sought permission for Zarqawi's fateha from Speaker Bakht Jehan, who allowed it. NWFP Agriculture Minister Qari Mahmood recited verses from the Holy Quran. The opposition did not object to the move. However, most opposition members had left the house as the session was nearing its end. The National Assembly has earlier refused Fateha for Zarqawi.
