Airport chaos: Waiting for Qadri
Police fired tear gas at supporters of a Canada-based cleric at Islamabad airport on Monday as he returned to Pakistan to lead what he has called a “revolution” against the elected government. But Qadri's supporters, including a large number of women, managed to breach police cordons to arrive at Islamabad airport overnight, chanting “Long live Tahir-ul-Qadri” and “Revolution, revolution, Islamic revolution” even as Qadri's flight was diverted to Lahore instead of Islamabad where it had been scheduled to land in the morning. -Photos by Agencies
