Terrorists attack university in Islamabad

Three girls were among six people killed on Tuesday in twin suicide attacks inside the International Islamic University, Islamabad. Two blocks were severely damaged.

This is the first time that militants have targeted women and a prestigious Islamic educational institution.

The blasts took place in quick succession in segregated blocks for girls and boys in the university’s campus in the capital’s H-10 sector.

A bomber barged into the women-only facility despite fierce resistance put up by a local worker, blowing himself up at the entrance of the girls’ cafeteria.

The other bomber detonated his explosives-laden jacket on the first floor of the Imam Abu Hanifa block.

A string of attacks have rocked Peshawar, Swat, Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Islamabad since Oct 5, killing more than 250 people. The bombings have made October one of the bloodiest months since the beginning of the terrorist attacks.

No one has so far claimed responsibility for the strikes.

The incident took place amid reports about threats to educational institutions, some of which decided to close their facilities for a few days.

However, officials of the Islamic University said they were not aware of any direct threat.

‘We were hearing that some schools were being closed down, but we never received any specific threat,’ an outraged Prof Parveen Tariq Agha, the in-charge of the women’s wing, told Dawn.

She rejected suggestion of a security lapse and said the university’s premises were properly secured. But, she said, no one could have guessed that a suicide bomber would target girls in this manner. Other teachers were equally outraged.

‘This is a cowardly act,’ another faculty member said. ‘Those who target students, particularly women, cannot even be considered human beings,’ she said.

The new campus of the International Islamic university is spread over several acres and houses over 17,000 students, including 6,000 women.

There are 2,000 foreign students from 45 countries, but mostly from China and African countries.

Sources said that security and intelligence agencies had information that terrorists would strike a university on Tuesday.

The police said one of the attackers, who was carrying five to seven kilograms of explosives, blew himself outside the office of the chairman of the Sharia Department, killing two people and creating a hole in the office wall and cracking adjacent walls.

Eyewitnesses said that shards of glass and body parts lay scattered in the corridor. Nearby rooms, including a conference room and classes, were damaged by the blast.

The other suicide bomber, they said, struck the girl’s cafeteria after 3pm. Pellets mixed with the explosives also damaged a large area, perforating roofs and walls.

Investigators said they had found skin attached to a forehead and an ear, which they believed were of one of the attackers.

The other attacker, wearing a vest containing five to eight kilograms of explosives, had disguised himself as a woman and was wearing a colourful shawl. He was intercepted by a worker identified as Pervez Masih when he tried to enter the girls’ cafeteria.

It is believed had Mr Masih not stopped the suicide bomber, the death toll would have been higher because about 50 students were having lunch at that time.

A leg believed to be that of the suicide bomber was found in the cafeteria. There was some confusion about the gender of the suicide bomber.

Some students said they had spotted a ‘woman’ acting suspiciously near the cafeteria, but there was no official confirmation.

Shortly after the blast, the area was cordoned off as teams of police, intelligence agencies, bomb disposal squad, civil defence, and doctors arrived at the scene.

Rescue workers said they had removed 37 injured people to nearby hospitals, where two of the injured woman students died. Their colleagues identified them only as Hina and Seher.

A 21-year-old suspect, sporting a light beard and wearing white shalwar kamiz, was arrested from the cafeteria while filming the devastation under the nose of the security personnel.

The man, believed to be an accomplice of the suicide bombers, told police that he lived in a nearby slum. But he had no answer when asked why he was making the video.

Another suspect, said to be in his 20s, was also arrested near the Imam Abu Hanifa Block. He is said to be a resident of Sargodha.

The police said that both of them had failed to come up with convincing explanations about their presence at the scene.

Three other suspects were picked up from a slum in I-11 sector.

Investigators said that the chairman of the Imam Abu Hanifa Block was the attackers’ prime target because he was ‘known for his liberal views’, but he was not present in his office at that time.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik faced humiliation for the second time in a week when students compelled him to leave the campus with a hail of stones.

The minister was accompanied by senior officials of the interior ministry and local administration. (Source: Dawn)

A LAW graduate of the Punjab University on Saturday refused to receive a gold medal from Governor/Chancellor Salman Taseer, registering his protest against the silence of the PPP government over the May 12, 2007, incident in Karachi.

The top position holder of session 2004-07 of LLB programme, Muhammad Shahid, went onto the stage but did not receive medal from the governor. He asked the governor why no action was being taken against those responsible for the 12 May incident although the PPP government knew that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement was behind for it.

“The lawyers were burnt alive and people were killed publicly,” he said, questioning the governor that why those responsible were not being brought to justice.

After registering his protest, the student left the stage and did not receive the medal although he was offered the medal twice by the governor. The unexpected move of the student stunned everyone present.

Niqab banned at al-Azhar University

CAIRO: Egypt’s top Islamic cleric said Thursday that students and teachers will not be allowed to wear face veils in classrooms and dormitories of Sunni Islam’s premier institute of learning, al-Azhar, part of a government effort to curb radical Islamic practices.

The decision announced by Sheik of al-Azhar Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi came days after he said the face veil, or niqab, ‘has nothing to do with Islam.’ His comments and actions have sparked an outcry from Islamists who see them as an attack on their religion and some rights organizations who believe banning the niqab violates constitutional freedom.

The explosive issue of how much of a Muslim woman’s body should be covered remains contested among Islamic scholars.

The majority of scholars say the face veil is not required but is merely a custom that dates back to tribal, nomadic societies living in the Arabian desert before Islam began.

While a vast majority of Egyptian women wear headscarves, few wear the niqab, which is common in Saudi Arabia where the more conservative form of Wahhabi Islam is practiced. The trend seems to be gaining ground in Egypt, leading to government attempts to ban the face veil from public institutions.

Tantawi, who was appointed by the Egyptian government, first attacked the niqab Sunday during a field visit to a middle school where he asked a student to remove her face veil, according to local media.

Al-Azhar schools are segregated between men and women.

The cleric said Thursday that his decision to impose a partial ban is based on a 1996 constitutional court ruling that granted education officials the right to regulate Islamic attire in schools. He said the goal was to ‘spread trust, harmony ... and the correct understanding of religion among girls.’

The majority of scholars ‘say that the face of a woman is not a shame,’ he said.

Tantawi said al-Azhar does not oppose women wearing the niqab in al-Azhar school yards, even though local media had reported earlier in the week that he would impose a total ban.

A militant Palestinian group, Jund Ansar Allah, posted a statement on the Internet on Wednesday criticizing Tantawi and calling on Muslims to carry out attacks against the Egyptian government.

The media arm of the group accused Tantawi of ‘declaring war on the niqab, and facilitating matters of vice’ in a statement posted on its Web site, according to the Washington-based SITE intelligence group, which monitors militant messages.

Al-Azhar oversees education in over 8,000 schools that offer basic and secondary education to over one million students. The schools mostly offer religious education and operate in parallel to public schooling. Graduates can later enroll in al-Azhar University.

The UN Development Program estimated in 2008 that al-Azhar schools absorb nearly 20 per cent of Egyptian students in basic and secondary education.

Security officials have said that verbal orders have also been issued to bar students covered from head to toe from entering dormitories at several other Cairo universities, which are overseen by the Higher Education Ministry.

But the attempt to bar the niqab from public institutions has ran into scholarly opposition and social resistance.

Tantawi appeared to be attempting to walk a fine line by avoiding banning the niqab altogether from al-Azhar schools.

Previous government directives over the last two years to ban women preachers wearing the niqab from mosques and nurses from wearing full veil in hospitals have not been fully enforced.

A researcher wearing the niqab who was prevented from using the library at the American University in Cairo in 2001 took her case to the Egypt’s supreme court and eventually won. The court ruled a total ban on the niqab to be unconstitutional.

The court did recommend that women wearing the niqab be made to uncover their faces before female security guards to verify their identity.

Hossam Bahgat, director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said Tantawi’s decision does not constitute a violation of constitutional freedom because it does not fully ban the niqab and women forced to take it off will be in places where there are no men.

‘This is much more limited than what it initially sounded like,’ he said.— AP (Source : Dawn News)

Zardari’s credibility is ‘big question’, says Mushahid

Secretary General of Pakistan Muslim League-Q Mushahid Hussain Syed said on Sunday that questions about President Asif Ali Zardari’s credibility were the main reasons behind the crisis the government was facing today.

Talking to journalists here on Sunday, he said: “…The president’s own credibility is a big question. It’s in fact a major factor in the crisis the government is facing today. The government’s own performance is another factor.”

The government did not fulfil its promises about ending loadshedding and abolishing the 17th amendment and the president was paying fruitless visits to foreign countries, he said.

He referred to some statements made by government circles which, according to him, were directed against the judiciary. “I fear the government’s irresponsibility and adolescence may take the country towards confrontation. The statements directed at judiciary are irresponsible,” he said.

He said Balochistan needed a healing touch and the government should adopt a policy of reconciliation. “It can also be done with the help of parliamentary committee’s report on Balochistan.”

He expressed disappointment over performance of the special committee on constitutional reforms.

Answering a question about possibility of trial of Pervez Musharraf he said that no case would be lodged. A call from Saudi Arabia ended the clamour about his trial. Politicians bowed to just one call, he said, adding that long march had come to an end on a call.

About the Kerry-Lugar bill, he said that despite showing outstanding performance against militants, Pakistani military was being pressurised.

“Pakistan army has outdone the US and Nato forces operating in Afghanistan but accusations continue,” and the US was now talking about terrorist networks in Quetta and Muridke, he said.

The PML-Q leader said that there was no mention of corruption in the bill although the US used to talk about good governance. “I urge the government to review its clauses and advise the US to desist from exercising double standards. It should look into the role of Indian agencies in Balochistan. We are allies, so everything should be based on reciprocity,” he said.

PML-Q president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said he was confident that neither Musharraf would be tried nor NRO would be brought in parliament. If the NRO was taken up in parliament his party would oppose it because it did not concern leaders or workers of his party, he said.

He said that the US was talking about attacking Quetta on the basis of their reports that Osama was there, adding in a lighter tine that who knew Osama was not living on a street adjacent to White House. (dawn news, www.dawn.com)
