I posted the story several hours ago on my blog - basically they agreed to a ceasefire for Friday prayers from 12:30 - 15:30 (3 hours) - however up until 1730 when I posted the story there was no fighting under the orders of Musharraf as he had agreed to amnesty for all the remaining militants and no criminal charges backdated to February.

Now is 2330 in Pakistan and from what I hear they are attempting to convince the remaining militants of the amnesty and have asked to enter the mosque. They are having a hard time however convincing the remaining militants of the amnesty.

details are also now up on Pakistan newspapers - and so the CNN report is false

Pakistan News Amnesty offer for all who lay down arms

My post was at 1730 Pakistan Time
