“Pakistan Says Militants Prevent Surrender by Students,” by Khalid Qayum and Khaleeq Ahmed for Bloomberg:
July 5 (Bloomberg) — Thirty ‘’hardcore’’ militants are preventing students at the Red Mosque in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, from surrendering amid a siege of the mosque by security forces, the government said.
The militants ‘’are using women and children as shields,’’ Javed Iqbal Cheema, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told reporters in Islamabad today. A total of 1,146 students have surrendered since yesterday, he said. At least 16 people have been killed in gun battles between students and police.
Despicable.

Excerpt -
ISLAMABAD, July 6 (Reuters) - Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf’s plane was fired on as it took off on Friday from a military airfield in Rawalpindi, an intelligence officer said, contradicting official denials.
Musharraf’s plane arrived safely in the southwestern town of Turbat, where the president visited flood victims, and the military denied there had been any attack.
But an intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there had been an unsuccessful attempt on Musharraf’s life, and no arrests were made.
A Reuters photographer saw two large guns mounted on the roof of a two-storey house in the congested area close to the airport, and a neighbour said he heard the firing.
