Security around Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has been reinforced following intelligence that he could be target of a suicide attack, security officials said on Wednesday. A marked increase in the Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s security was noticed during his stay in Peshawar this week as a police officer on-duty said, “We are under a directive to guard the opposition leader against a possible suicide attack.” Rehman said that as any common man he also had security concerns. “You do not feel insecure?” he asked. Senior JUI-F leader and renowned Islamic scholar Maulana Hasan Jan was gunned down in Peshawar on September 15 and Pakistani security agencies received information that the killer was “paid from across the border.”
