Various of supporters of Al Rashid Trust protesting on street STORYLINE: Protests continued in Pakistan on Tuesday against Islamabad's backing of the United States in its anti-terrorism campaign. In Quetta, a crowd of thousands gave a rapturous welcome to the arrival of Maulana (Mullah) Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Pakistan's Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party, a hard-line political group which staunchly supports Afghanistan's Taliban movement. Enthusiastic followers lined Rehman's route and marched behind him as he headed towards a party rally, during which he addressed the crowds and condemned President Musharraf's backing of the US. Several thousand people, some waving sticks, marched through the narrow, dusty streets, shouting: "Afghanistan, graveyard of America" and "Any attack on Afghanistan is an attack on Islam". Those gathered also chanted anti-US slogans and burned an effigy of President George. W. Bush. Crowds waved the black-and-white party flag, which has become almost as popular in Pakistan as the national flag. Foreign journalists in the city were confined to their hotel during the rally, an act which government officials claimed was for their own safety. In Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, supporters of an organisation which had its assets frozen in the aftermath of the US terrorist attacks have also been demonstrating. The Pakistan-based Al-Rashid Trust was one of 27 organisations and individuals blacklisted in connection with the Bush administration's so-called "war against terrorism." Pakistan's State Bank froze its assets in Pakistan last week but the trust, which calls itself a charity, is technically allowed to continue since it has not been declared a terrorist organisation.
