Intelligence agencies have warned of terrorist attacks at Parliament House and its lodges in Islamabad as revenge for the Lal Masjid operation.

Security agencies have reported to the Interior Ministry that terrorists could hit parliament while it is in session.

Parliament lodges, where several parliamentarians are staying, could also become a target for terrorist strike.

Intelligence report said that the terrorists could use an improvised explosive device, suicide attack or car bombing to target parliamentarians.

The district administration has increased the presence of security forces at the lodges, while the Frontier Constabulary is manning the highly sensitive Ministers Enclave area.

Islamabad Deputy Commissioner Chaudhry Mohammad Ali was quoted by the Daily Times as saying that "foolproof" security arrangements have been made in the entire city.

Intelligence agencies have recommended that security be enhanced in and around Parliament House and the Parliament Lodges.

The Interior Ministry has ordered walkthrough gates and cameras installed at the entrance of the Parliament Lodges to increase security for the parliamentarians, the daily said.

Meanwhile, an Islamic militant and a policeman died Thursday when officers foiled a suicide bombing at a Pakistani police school, the latest attack since the army stormed a radical Islamabad mosque. The attack in the central city of Sargodha in Punjab province comes amid a wave of violence that has killed more than 200 people across the country in recent weeks, piling pressure on key US ally President Pervez Musharraf.

The Islamic militant tried to enter the police training facility with seven kilograms (15 pounds) of explosives strapped to his body as dozens of recruits ended their morning parade, Sargodha police chief Sheikh Omar told AFP.

"He was a suicide bomber but police foiled his attempt," Omar said, adding that casualties would have been "heavy" had he succeeded in entering the training area.

He said security officials at the gate of the school stopped the suspect, in his early 20s, who pulled out a pistol and opened fire, killing one police officer and wounding another. A hand grenade was also found on his corpse.

"A constable on duty shot him dead. His presence of mind saved many lives," local police officer Nasar Hayat said.

"The bomber apparently had full details about the morning's drill schedule but it was just by chance that the person in charge today called off the drill about five minutes early," Hayat added.

Police said the attack appeared to be a "continuation" of attacks on police and the army in apparent revenge for the siege and storming of the pro-Taliban Red Mosque in the capital, in which more than 100 people died.

Fifteen people were killed on Friday when a suicide bomber attacked a group of policemen during fresh protests at the mosque.
