Shia leader murdered
2006-09-22
SARGODHA: Two unidentified gunmen on Thursday morning shot dead a Shia leader in Sargodha's Muslim Bazaar, police said. Two men on motorbikes approached Bashir Hussain and fired at him in what witnesses described as a drive-by shooting. Husain was rushed immediately to DHQ Hospital, where he later died of his injuries. As news of his death rapidly spread through the city, a group of locals came on to the roadside to raise protest slogans. They also blocked approaching roads with burning tyres. Police personnel have been deployed at imambargahs.

Imambargah on the jihad
just to make the kuffir pay

Can't you hear the muezzin calling?
Rise up early for Fajr

CanÂ’t you hear the call of adhan?
Dinan bomb your car.

Dinan wonÂ’t you blow,
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow your car up please?

Dinan wonÂ’t you blow,
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow
Dinan bomb your car.

SomeoneÂ’s in the mihrab with Dinan
SomeoneÂ’s in the mihrab I know oh oh oh
SomeoneÂ’s in the mihrab with Dinan
Strumming on the old oud.

Dinan wonÂ’t you blow,
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow your car up please?

Dinan wonÂ’t you blow,
Dinan wonÂ’t you blow
Dinan bomb your car.

#2  An imambargah is a prayer/meeting hall for Shiites. It is known by other names in other areas. Elsewhere in India, it is sometimes called a Hussainia; however that name is more in-your-face to Sunnis because it honors the 3rd Shia Iman.
