Brother of slain cleric predicts ‘Islamic revolution’ in Pakistan

None

Days after he was caught fleeing Islamabad’s Red Mosque in a burqa, its captured chief cleric gave an incendiary funeral oration at the village burial of his slain brother, predicting the bloodshed would drive Pakistan toward an “Islamic revolution”.

 

But hours later, President Gen. Pervez Musharraf vowed to crush extremists throughout Pakistan and move against religious schools, like the Red Mosque’s, that breed them. (AP)
