Pakistan: Deadly Rioting Was Planned, Group Says

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: August 4, 2009
An independent human rights commission said Tuesday that rioting that killed eight Christians last week was not spontaneous but was planned by the attackers, some of whom belong to a militant group linked to Al Qaeda. The police were questioning more than 200 people about the attacks, in which hundreds of Muslims burned down a Christian neighborhood in Gojra.

The Punjab Province law minister, Rana Sanaullah, said that those arrested included members of the banned Sunni group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan and its offshoot, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which is linked to Al Qaeda. The commission said many attackers came from a neighboring district, Jhang, a militant stronghold. The commission said announcements made from mosques the day before the attack called on Muslims to “make mincemeat of the Christians.”
