ISLAMABAD: The government has imposed a ban on all official and private parties in the federal capital because of threats of terrorist attacks by militants linked to Al Qaeda and Taliban. A circular issued by the Interior Ministry states that all concerned departments have been directed to restrict holding any private and official parties till further notice.
Hotels have also been issued the circular to abstain from hosting any private or official engagements at their venues as a precautionary measure. To this effect, a US aid workshop scheduled to be held at Parliament Lodges has also been cancelled at the last minute. online
