Threats to blow up courts of law in the NWFP continue to pour in as the registrar of the Peshawar High Court (PHC) and a senior civil judge received anonymous letters on Saturday that suicide bombers would target the Peshawar Judicial Complex on Monday. On Monday, the civil judges avoided courtrooms but some judges later attended their courts after a meeting with Senior Civil Judge Kalsoom Azam and PHC Registrar Syed Musaddiq Hussain Gillani. Gillani told Daily Times that the letters received by him and the senior civil judge said: We carried out a blast in front of the PHC building. Our next target is the courtrooms.

Gillani said that he held an emergency meeting with senior and other civil judges and asked them to resume work at the courtrooms. I told the judges that we should not fear such threats and should continue our routine proceedings, he added. However, no special security measures were taken at the entrances to the judicial complex despite the threats. Only two policemen were deployed at the main gate without metal detectors and they carried out body searches of only those people who were wearing chaddars. Security measures were not enough and I myself asked a security official at the main gate to search me, a litigant, Muhammad Dastageer, told Daily Times.
