<b>Two more dead âforeignersâ identified as Pakistanis</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->ISLAMABAD: The governmentâs claim about the presence of foreigners in Lal Masjid during the operation virtually turned false as two more bodies of suspected aliens, were identified as Pakistanis.
The dead were identified by their parents through the photographs. One of them is Muhammad Umer from Kahuta, while the other, who the government claimed to be an Uzbek, was Zainullah, 15, from South Waziristan.
The parents of these children scoffed the government for launching the operation against Lal Masjid. They also cursed the intelligence agencies for giving baseless reports to the government about the existence of the foreign militants, bombs, suicide bombers and mines. Many Lal Masjid students remained in contact with The News during the operation and denied the presence of any foreigner in the mosque.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
