ISLAMABAD - PAKISTAN, MAY 28: Young students sit in the atrium during the evening prayer at the Jamia Hafsa women's school or Madrassa inside the compound of the Lal mosque on May 28, 2007 in Islamabad, Pakistan. The Jamia Hafsa, which is attached to the famous Lal Masjid (red mosque) has been steeped in controversy over recent years. Brothers Maulana Abdul Aziz and Abdul Rashid Ghazi who run the Mosque been vehement in their support for the "jihad against America" and have openly condemned President Musharraf even calling for his assassination. In July 2005 Pakistani security forces made an attempt to raid the mosque following the suicide bombings that month in London, they were refused entry. And recently, British schoolgirl Misbah Rana, also known as Molly Campbell, was reported to have been interested in joining the Jamia Hafsa after arriving in Pakistan at the centre of an international custody row.
