- <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.
