Arshad Sharif ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, 17 September 2001 (DAWN): Extraordinary security measures have been taken to prevent any terrorist attack on the life of President General Pervez Musharraf, U.S. citizens in Pakistan and U.S. Embassy, senior law enforcement officials said here on Monday. Talking to Dawn after the protest rally by local religious leaders in the capital, senior superintendent police, Nasir Khan Durrani, said that a contingency plan has already been prepared to protect the President, U.S. citizens and the embassy staff from any suicide terrorist attacks. A spokesman of Interior Ministry said that security has been beefed up in the capital according to the "Blue Book" of security, and that the chief security officer of the President is well aware of the situation, he added. The anti-terrorist police squad and riot police outnumbered some 300 protesters from local religious mosques who had gathered in Islamabad's one of the main shopping areas. The protesters threatened to overthrow the military regime, fight battles from Khyber to Karachi in every street and kill those who side with the U.S. troops or allow them to launch attacks on Afghanistan. In response to a question as to how the protest rally was staged in the capital despite a ban, the capital police chief said that an "understanding" on the modalities of the protest was reached with the organizers. On Sunday, cases were registered under section 188 against more than 200 persons for defying the ban on staging protest rallies in the capital, police officials confirmed. Security officials told Dawn that reports have been received that President General Pervez Musharraf, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan, Wendy Chamberlin, American diplomats and citizens could face threat to their lives, including assassination attempts. The threat from religious groups would be grave if the U.S. military or NATO armed forces are allowed by Pakistan to launch attacks against Afghanistan through Pakistan's territory or airspace or if any kind of support or cooperation is provided to the U.S. for military operation, sources said. The religious leaders of Islamabad, including members of Afghan Defence Council, Jamiat Ulema Islam and Jamiat Ahle Sunnat, in their speeches warned the government of a civil war in the country if any cooperation was extended to the United States. "We will target every U.S. citizen and U.S. office in Pakistan when Mullah Umar declares war on America," said Qari Nazeer Farooqi, adding, "There will be civil war in the country if Pakistan extends supports to Americans." During prayers, the local religious leaders urged the world's Muslims to unite against the U.S. state terrorism. General Pervez Musharraf, under intense U.S. pressure to cooperate, has pledged full support for U.S. efforts to find those responsible for the terror attacks which rocked America's centers of economic and military power, World Trade Center and Pentagon, on September 11. According to a chronology of attacks on U.S. interests in Pakistan, U.S. Embassy in Islamabad was attacked by a mob in 1979 leaving two U.S. marines and two Pakistani staff dead. In 1989, a mob once again attacked the U.S. information center (USIS). In 1999, following U.S. pressure for the Taliban to hand over Usama bin Laden, rockets were fired at the U.S. information center and the Saudi Pak Tower housing UN offices. Two employees of the U.S. consulate in Karachi were also killed in an ambush in March 1995. Four American employees of U.S. oil company and their Pakistani driver were killed in another daylight ambush in Karachi in November 1997. Sources in the U.S. Embassy said that U.S. citizens have been warned of the threat to their security and advised to leave the country. A U.S. citizen, prior to his departure, told Dawn that they were asked to leave and adopt a flight route via the Far Eastern countries instead of the Middle East. The U.S. officials would let us know when it is safe to return. [ The DAWN Group of Newspapers, 2001] Profile of U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Wendy J.
