Pakistani government warned of suicide attacks by "burqa-clad women"'

Or burqa-clad persons in general. "Govt warned of attacks by female bombers," by Shahnawaz Khan for the Daily Times:

LAHORE: Law enforcement agencies have forwarded intelligence reports to the senior government officials regarding suicide attacks expected to be carried out by women bombers across the country, highly reliable Interior Ministry sources told Daily Times on Sunday.
“There are chances that that male and female former students of Jamia Hafsa, Jamia Fareedia and Lal Masjid that managed to escape from ‘Operation Silence’ could carry out suicide attacks across the country,” the intelligence agencies’ reports said, according to sources. The report also suspected involvement of students from these madrassas in the suicide bombing on July 17 in Islamabad.
Intelligence agencies had forwarded detailed reports to the Interior Ministry as well, the sources said, following which authorities had issued special instructions in this regard.
Police told to keep an eye on burqa-clad women: In the report, sources said, authorities suggested that police seniors across the country immediately issue instructions to keep a close eye on suspicious women wearing shuttlecock burqas and/or youngsters roaming near important installations, especially foreign ones, as well as important personalities, law enforcement personnel and important public and business places.
They said that the ministry had also circulated special letters in this regard to senior security and administrative officials across the country. Provincial police officers (PPOs) of Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan, NWFP, and the Islamabad police inspector general (IG) had also been especially directed to take precautionary measures on an emergency basis, they said.
Peshawar stadium likely target: Intelligence agencies said in the report that in Peshawar, Kernal Sher Khan Shaheed Stadium, Khyber Road, would be the likely target of such attacks, since there was a large number of rickshaws and public transport vehicles parked there most of the time.

Happening at a burka event soon in your own local neighbourhood.

It's like science fiction become reality (ever look at early science fiction clips and realize we are already there? )

.....and Muslim leaders have alledged the students in these madrassas, the
Jamia Hafsa, Jamia Fareedia and Lal Masjid , were not terrorists, just students...were only students....

....but one wonders about the secret tunnels, the military type training manuals found, the record of internet EMAILs to known terrorists and other suspicious documents found in recent raids to these locations....

This is slightly OT, but I find this fascinating--I've seen and read about this several times. Female Western jouirnalists have often donned the burqa either to gain access to areas they could not enter otherwise, or just to experience the facelessness and erasure that such a garment imposes.

Well, here is something interesting--even though it is impossible to move freely while clad in a burqa, these Western women are frequently spotted. How is this possible? Because even under these conditions--hampered by the garment, attempting to blend in--Western women simply move with too much confidence. It sticks out like a beacon amoung the cowed masses.

So do sunglasses (tipoff they're westerners),
so does a TV entourage trailing them,
so does not carrying a basket or jar like a mule,
so do Gucci shoes (or other expensive footwear),
so does makeup,
so does looking at oncoming men directly,
so does walking ahead of men (like Christ.Iam.Poursomemore at CNN),
you get the idea...dead giveaways to locals.
