SEVERAL blasts were heard and heavy gunfire erupted today at a besieged mosque in the Pakistani capital as armoured personnel carriers moved towards the building.
Students from the Red Mosque and security forces were engaged in some of the most intense fighting since the crisis began on Tuesday, they said.
