University of Islamic Studies students suspected of ties to terrorism

The University is notable because some of the students have been accused of ties to terrorism.

The Summary of Evidence memo prepared for Tawfiq bin Attash's Combatant Status Review Tribunal stated:Tawfiq bin Attash is alleged to have been one of the key players in the 1998 East Africa Embassy bombings and the 2000 USS Cole bombing.

Amnesty International reports that Shahrulnizam Hamzah and Mohamed Akil abdul Raof were students at the University who were apprehended by Pakistani authorities on September 20 2003 due to suspicion they had ties to terrorism.
