al Qaeda had planned to set up University in Pakistan

Prior to September 11 terror attacks on the United States, the al Qaeda of Osama bin Laden had planned to set up its own university and a few technical and medical institutions in Pakistan.

However, immediately after the terror strikes on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center and the US response to the attacks, the outfit was forced to wind up its operations in the country.

This was revealed by Supreme Court lawyer A Basit in his writ petition filed in the Lahore High Court, the 'Friday Times' has reported.
