London, July 2 : Glasgow's 35,000-strong Pakistani population is on tetherhooks following the apperance of "KIll all Pakis' slogans on walls across the city, two days after two Asian men tried to blow up the city airport.

According to The News, this is the first time such terrorist activity has taken place in Glasgow where around 50,000 Muslims, including 35,000 Pakistanis, live.

Pakistanis are now having a feeling of being under siege after Saturday's incident.

The first minister of the British Government is in Glasgow holding urgent meetings with intelligence agencies, police departments and the local community leaders to stop violent reaction against the Pakistanis. Efforts were under way to defuse the tension amid the renewed fears of racial riots.

The local police has started searching the houses of the Asians, mostly Pakistanis, after getting some clues that the terrorists who tried to blow the airport were from the same community.

Member of House of Commons Mohammad Sarwar from Glasgow confirmed to The News that slogans like "Kill all the Pakis" had started appearing on the walls and roads of the city after this terrorist activity.

"Although, so far, the identity of attackers who tried to blow up the airport has not been made public, we apprehend that they would turn out to be Muslims," Sarwar said.

Sarwar was instrumental in getting three Pakistani youths extradited from Islamabad where they had fled after killing a 12-year-old white boy in a racial attack.
