Following a new strategy to tackle extremism, the NWFP government has prepared a list of 1,400 foreign imams (prayer leaders) serving in different mosques across the province. The lists were prepared jointly by the district security bureaus and peace committees on the directive of the federal government. Sources said 27 mosques in Risalpur district and 207 mosques in Nowshera district were being served by imams belonging to Afghanistan. The NWFP government has also directed the police station house officers (SHOs) to summon all such imams. The Risalpur SHO has summoned foreign imams on Thursday at 8:00am.
