<p> The hot flick in Pakistan these days is the 3 1/2-hr.
International Guerrillas. It features a Muslim-loathing
terrorist who gets killed by a retributive bolt of divine
lightning. So take that, Salman Rushdie! Such is the name of
the evil protagonist (played by Afzal Ahmed), not to mention
that of the author of The Satanic Verses, which so angered
Muslims that Ayatollah Khomeini threatened him with death in
1989. Britain has barred the movie as libelous, but the Muslim
producers intend to fight back. They have an unlikely
defender: Rushdie, in hiding for 17 months, says the film
"should be in the public domain" and any offense dealt with
according to due process of law.
