Over 700 Islamists surrendered to government forces at the Red Mosque in Islamabad, but thousands remain inside. Both President Musharraf and Tariq Azim, the Minister of Information, said clerics Aziz and Ghazi must surrender. Minister Aziz said the government does not want bloodshed but prefers to resolve the issue through dialogue, while President Musharraf said the time for talk and concessions is over.
