Hunt for ‘suicide couple’

Published March 31, 2006

PESHAWAR, March 30: Intelligence agencies are looking for a couple on a suicide mission who recently left their home on the University Road, reliable sources told Dawn on Thursday.

A federal intelligence agency got hold of a cassette of a couple, Azizullah Hamidullah alias Dr Aziz, and his wife, Feroza, which indicated that they had left their home and joined a group of suicide bombers.

In the cassette, Azizullah informs his relatives that he and his wife were on a suicide mission and nobody should try to look for them anywhere.

“We will meet in heaven,” a source who had heard the audiotape quoted Azizullah as saying.

Eight days ago, the provincial home department released a photograph of Azizullah, aged between 35 and 40 years, and his wife Feroza to provincial security agencies and informed them that they might be suicide bombers.

The couple had three daughters and the agencies had no idea where the couple had left them.
