| [DAWN] Security agencies have warned the government due to his links with known turban groups and his anti-government rhetoric that the resurgence of Lal Masjid ...literally the Red Mosque, located in Islamabad and frequented by all sorts of high govt officials. The proprietors, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, unleashed their Islamic storm troopers on the city, shutting down whorehouses and beating people up who weren't devout enough. The Musharraf govt put an end to the nonsense by besieging the place. Abdul Aziz Ghazi was nabbed while he was trying to escape dressed up like a girl. BBC reported that the corpse count at 173, but other claims, usually hysterical, say there were up to 1000 titzup. Among their number was Abdul Rashid Ghazi. Everyone then said tut-tut and what a nice guy he had been... holy man Abdul Aziz poses a security threat to the law and order situation in the capital. They also stressed the need for a check on the growing number of madressahs in Rawalpindi and Islamabad who also have overt and covert links with turban groups. |
