| Eight terrorists are planning attacks on security forces and former ministers in Punjab to avenge the death of Lal Masjid khateeb Abdul Rashid Ghazi, according to a notification issued by the inspector general of Punjab Police. The notification, sent by fax and post to senior police officers provincewide, names the men and says they belong to Multan, Bahawalpur, Faislabad, Lahore and Peshawar. Their leader is a rebel commander in Wana, it says. The notice directs police officers to enhance the security of potential targets. Official sources said the National Crisis Management Cell had sent a similar notification to provincial police chiefs, asking them to enhance security and arrest the suspects. Another circular, issued by the Interior Ministry, said trained terrorists had entered Punjab from Waziristan. It said they planned to target the officers of Rangers, district officials and educational institutions. |
