Pakistan Islamic group vows to rebuild bombed religious school
font size    

Pakistan's main Islamic group announced on Thursday that within three months it will rebuild the religious school which was bombed in the tribal region on Monday.

Air strike on the "madrassa" in Pakistan's northwestern Bajur agency killed 80 students but the government said they were militants.

Siraj-ul-Haq, Chief of Jamaat-e-Islami of North West Frontier Province (NWFP), said that Jamaat would give 1 million rupees ( about 16,666 U.S. dollars) to the relatives of those slain in the bombing.

He said his party will rebuild the seminary and will also launch a project to construct a mosque.

He said that Jamaat will also pay for the treatment of the three injured students.

One injured student said that there were no foreigners or militants in the religious school and that the school was bombed when students were preparing for morning prayers, according to a newspaper report.

Siraj said Islamic groups will hold demonstrations on Friday against the bombing, adding that rallies would continue till the end of the government.

He said that no proof has yet been found to prove that the inmates were militants, adding that all those killed were innocent students.

Siraj appealed to the Supreme Court to take notice of the bombing.

Meanwhile, Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Syed Munawar Hasan has denied any links with the bombed religious school but said his party supports jehad everywhere in the world.
