Lal Masjid pulls out of talks
2007-04-17
Army helicopters 'gas' madrassa students, take pictures
The Lal Masjid on Monday pulled out of talks with the government, after two army helicopters hovered over the mosque compound in the morning taking pictures and spraying a gas on madrassa students, in what the mosque sees as a prelude to an operation.
"Mahmoud, give 'em a whiff o' the gas!"
"But Ahmed! It'll make their pee-pees shrink!"
"Mwaah-hah-hah-hah-hah!"
“In the present situation when military helicopters are hovering over Lal Masjid and an operation is being finalised under the cover of talks, we cannot continue negotiations any further,” Maulana Abdul Aziz, chief cleric of Lal Masjid, told reporters.
"Nope. Nope. Can't do it. Sorry."
Earlier, Abdul Rashid Ghazi, brother and deputy of Aziz, said an army helicopter “appeared from nowhere” at around 10:40am and hovered over the mosque and its Jamia Hafsa madrassa for girls for around 15 minutes, and took pictures of the unveiled students and sprayed a “mysterious gas” on them which caused breathing difficulties and watery eyes. The helicopter flew away and another army helicopter later flew over the place, he said.
It was piloted by djinns. I seen it with my own eyes.
Ghazi said PML President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, who is heading the negotiations from the government side, phoned him and expressed shock at the incident. Ghazi alleged that Monday’s incident took place at the behest of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain. He demanded the government bring back Hussain through Interpol and try him for the murders of former Sindh governor Hakeem Muhammad Saeed and Maulana Salahuddin. Asked if they had planned any strategy to counter an aerial attack on the mosque compound, Ghazi said: “We will condemn any such attack, however, I can’t say anything about our retaliation.”
