| Alleged LeJ letter warns suicide attack on govt hospital MS |
| 2010-06-04 |
| Banned militant outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) has allegedly threatened to kill the medical superintendent (MS) of the Sindh Government Hospital Saudabad, Khokhrapar in a suicide attack. The panicked hospital administration said it received the letter on Wednesday accusing the hospital of religious discrimination. Malir City Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Imdad Solangi confirmed that the hospital has received the letter warning the administration against religious and sectarian discrimination. "The countdown starts. We will soon blow you up in a suicide attack," the letter says. The police said they were not treating the threat lightly, but there is a possibility that the letter is fake, DSP Solangi added. He said the prevailing situation demanded to take each and everything seriously, adding he would look after the hospital personally to make sure nothing untoward happened. The police have meanwhile adopted stringent security measures at the hospital. A few days ago, militants attacked two Ahmedis' religious facilities killing more than ninety people. |
