Hurriyat Conference leader
Syed Ali Shah Geelani has
asked people to hold
funeral prayers on Friday for
Osama bin Laden, the founder of al-Qaida who was shot dead in Pakistan on May 2 by a
US team. Geelani has appealed to Imams and
people to hold funeral prayers in absentia
for bin Laden after Friday prayers
tomorrow afternoon, a Hurriyat
spokesman said in a statement. Terming him a 'martyr', Geelani said bin
Laden was not just one person but "he
represented a thinking which opposed
foreign occupational forces". "His heart bore the pain of the entire
Muslim Ummah (community). He gave up
his life of comfort to fight for their
cause," the statement said. The separatist leader said he wanted to
participate in the funeral prayers but he
has been placed under house arrest by the
police since early this morning. Geelani appealed to people to pray for the
liberation of Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and
Afghanistan from the occupation of
forces.
