Red Mosque students surrender slowly
More than 100 radical Islamic students holed up at an Islamabad mosque compound surrendered Wednesday morning, winding down an intense standoff between militants and government forces, a government source told CNN.
| I thought the little brats were gonna fight to the death? Was a change of plans that nobody told me about? |
More were expected to leave the Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, and its surrounding area shortly after a government-imposed deadline for their surrender lapsed at 11 a.m. (0600 GMT), the source said.
| In other words, dying for jihad looks different from a distance; up close it's not nearly as pretty. |
No operations have been launched by security forces at the scene, according to the source. They are waiting as militants slowly surrender.
| And as the Lal Masjid sympathizers in the military and government do their stuff. |
