I just heard this on the news, and I didn't get all of the details, but a Moslem leader, hiding in the Red Mosque, in Pakistan, attempted to escape authorities by wearing a burka.
It didn't work, they caught him. But according to the story, over a hundred years ago, Pancho Villa used that trick, to get out of prison. Internet sources indicate that story is legend, and myth, but not known to be true.
Somehow, this doesn't seem to do very much for the macho, male superiority image that some of their leaders try to portray.
More later. Bruce Chris.
