The Pakistani government is preparing to expel thousands of Arab, Afghan and other foreign students now studying at religious schools across Pakistan, out of concern that their presence might be a step toward possible militant activities. To continue studies at a Pakistani religious school, each of the more than 36,000 current foreign students must obtain a formal endorsement from his home government, according to an Interior Ministry plan described by the officials. The plan is to be presented next week to President Pervez Musharraf.
