Pakistan library named after Osama Bin Laden

An Islamic seminary for women in Pakistan's capital Islamabad has renamed its library after the former al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden.

The Jamia Hafsa Madrassa is run by the radical cleric Maulana Abdul Aziz, who is linked to the Red Mosque - known for its alleged links with militants.

A sign on the wall of the library refers to Bin Laden as a "martyr".
