LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN) -- Students from a radical mosque on Saturday raided an acupuncture clinic they said was used as a brothel in Pakistan's capital and kidnapped nine people, including Chinese women, police said.

About 30 students from Islamabad's Lal Masjid -- or Red Mosques -- armed with batons stormed the house and kidnapped nine people, including six Chinese, taking them back to their school.

"This place was used as a brothel house and despite our warnings the administration failed to take any action, so we decided to take action on our own," one student told an Islamabad TV station.

Police have surrounded the mosque and negotiations are taking place with the students for the release of the hostages, local officials said.

A government source told CNN there was a possibility a military operation could be launched against the students.

There are actually several, but they are almost like private clubs - you need to know someone to be able to get in.
