Pakistani capital to form anti-terrorism committees08:36, November 17, 2009
Police in the Pakistani capital will form anti-terrorism committees with the participation of youth, senior citizens and policemen from the emergency service, the police chief said Monday.
The Inspector General of Police Islamabad Syed Kaleem Imam said the idea of the committee is aimed at seeking support of community in countering terror elements.
Islamabad has seen at least five terrorist attacks in recent weeks. Last month, twin suicide attacks ripped through International Islamic University and killed at least seven people.
An army brigadier was killed, another senior army officer injured and other escaped unhurt in three separate incidents of firing by suspected militants in Islamabad in three weeks.
Federal Minister for Religious Affairs Hamid Saeed Kazmi was critically injured and his driver and guards killed in attack last month.
Imam said that members of these committees would visit the educational institutions and guide the students as how to counter terrorism threats in the present scenario.
They would also visit the markets and various sectors to collect information about the tenants.
Reviewing the performance of the emergency police called "Rescue 15", the police chief emphasized to improve the functioning of this unit and directed to establish a legal desk there for counselling to the people involved in minor conflicts.
He said that "Help Desks" have been established at the various hospitals by Rescue 15 which would provide help to the people in case of any emergency or mishap.
Police have set up to 100 check posts on all main roads of Islamabad but the series of attacks in the capital have raised questions about the capability of the police role to check the activities.
