[DAWN] ISLAMABAD: Two suspected holy warriors tossed in the clinkDon't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
from Islamabad's F-6 sector late on Tuesday have been identified as the sons of deceased Lal Masjid
...literally the
Red Mosque, located in Islamabad and frequented by all sorts of high govt officials. The proprietors, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, unleashed their Islamic storm troopers on the city, shutting down whorehouses and beating people up who weren't devout enough. The Musharraf govt put an end to the nonsense by besieging the place. Abdul Aziz Ghazi was nabbed while he was trying to escape dressed up like a girl. BBC reported that the corpse count at 173, but other claims, usually hysterical, say there were up to 1000 titzup. Among their number was Abdul Rashid Ghazi. Everyone then said tut-tut and what a nice guy he had been...
holy man Ghazi Abdul Rasheed.
The suspects identified as Haris and Haroon were arrested by a joint team of Police and Rangers who were patrolling the area at the time.
An army uniform and a handgun were seized from their vehicle. A First Information Report (FIR) was lodged against the 'terrorists' for the possession of a weapon at the Kohsar cop shoppe.
The suspects are being questioned by authorities.According to DawnNews, a Lal Masjid front man said the FIR is an attempt to bar the sons in their attempts to pursue a case against former president Musharraf who was charged for the murder of the Lal Masjid holy man.
