Pakistan Closes Schools Amid Warning Of Attacks
Pakistan's schools closed their doors Wednesday, a day after bombings at an Islamabad university, amid warnings of more attacks on a wider range of targets around the country.

The recent spate of terrorist attacks in Pakistani cities has come as the army prepared for, and launched, a military offensive in the tribal region bordering Afghanistan that is seen as a stronghold for Taliban and al Qaeda militants.

Intelligence officials warned that the militants could target foreign-controlled gas stations, banks and food chains.

All schools, universities and student hostels were ordered closed and vacated for an indefinite period, 'until appropriate security measures are taken,' said Qamar Zaman Kaira, the federal minister for information.

Many private schools in Islamabad and other major cities had already shut this week after intelligence reports that suggested militants would try to take students hostage to exchange for militants held by the security forces.

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the two suicide bomb attacks on International Islamic University, which killed four students and two bombers Tuesday.

伊斯兰堡的一所大学周二发生炸弹爆炸事件，有情报警告称，针对巴基斯坦各地更大范围的目标将发生更多袭击。在这种情况下，巴基斯坦的全部学校周三停课。

巴基斯坦多个城市最近发生了一系列恐怖袭击事件，正值军方在巴基斯坦靠近阿富汗边境的部族地区准备并发动了一次军事进攻的期间。这一边境地区被认为是塔利班(Taliban)和基地组织(al Qaeda)武装分子的一个据点。

情报官员警告说，武装分子可能会把外国控制的加油站、银行和食品连锁店作为目标。

巴基斯坦信息部部长凯拉(Qamar Zaman Kaira)说，巴基斯坦全部学校、大学和学生公寓都被下令无限期关闭、空置，直到采取了适当的安全措施。

伊斯兰堡等主要城市的很多私立学校本周已经关闭；此前有情报显示，武装分子将试图劫持学生作为人质，以交换安全部队逮捕的武装分子。

塔利班宣称对国际伊斯兰大学(International Islamic University)周二发生的两起自杀式炸弹袭击负责。爆炸造成4名学生和两名袭击者死亡。
