Now some follow-up to the bombing at the International Islamic University in Islamabad, which killed five people and wounded 29.

600 Chinese students study at the University, the biggest number in Pakistan. They now have to decide whether to stay.

This is where the nightmare took place.

Now the 20 thousand student campus suspends all its classes. And days after the twin bombings.

The smell of the fear is still fresh especially for those who were very close to the bombing site.

Chinese Student, said, "I just sat down, then I heard the blast and the second blast. We were all frightened! We just ran."

None of Chinese students was hurt in the twin blasts, but the worries about when the next will come intensify.

Chinese Student, said, "Our ambassador told us to be cautious, stay home, and keep in contact with the Chinese embassy when in need."

Now the Chinese embassy in Islamabad is talking to airlines for tickets home for the Chinese students. But most of the young people now choose to stay for when classes resume.
