Liberal politicians had been pressing Musharraf for months to crack down on the brothers running the Red mosque and the president accused the mosque of sheltering al-Qaeda members.
Kinda makes you wonder what side Musharraf is on?
Female representatives from Pakistan's Parliament along with a representative from Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) are now entering the mosque to convey the offer of amnesty from the government and to convince the pro-taliban militants to surrender.

Shots are being fired from inside the mosque and heavy gunfire is being reported in the surrounding areas. Unconfirmed reports are that armed citizens and students previously released have regrouped. Special forces are making their move. Ambulances can be heard rushing towards hospitals. Reporters are being told to move away from the area.
