時事新聞:擔心恐怖襲擊 巴基斯坦全部學校停課

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.

伊斯蘭堡的一所大學週二發生炸彈爆炸事件，有情報警告稱，針對巴基斯坦各地更大範圍的目標將發生更多襲擊。在這種情況下，巴基斯坦的全部學校週三停課。
巴基斯坦多個城市最近發生了一系列恐怖襲擊事件，正值軍方在巴基斯坦靠近阿富汗邊境的部族地區準備並發動了一次軍事進攻的期間。這一邊境地區被認爲是塔利班(Taliban)和基地組織(al Qaeda)武裝分子的一個據點。
情報官員警告說，武裝分子可能會把外國控制的加油站、銀行和食品連鎖店作爲目標。
巴基斯坦信息部部長凱拉(Qamar Zaman Kaira)說，巴基斯坦全部學校、大學和學生公寓都被下令無限期關閉、空置，直到採取了適當的安全措施。
伊斯蘭堡等主要城市的很多私立學校本週已經關閉；此前有情報顯示，武裝分子將試圖劫持學生作爲人質，以交換安全部隊逮捕的武裝分子。
塔利班宣稱對國際伊斯蘭大學(International Islamic University)週二發生的兩起自殺式炸彈襲擊負責。爆炸造成4名學生和兩名襲擊者死亡。
