[UPDATE2] Government forces detonated a series of explosions at the front wall of the Lal Masjid; CNN claimed the wall was “demolished.” Up to 20 have been killed and 200 wounded during the fighting, while about 1,200 students have left the mosque. The Religious Affairs minister asked Abdul Aziz to call for the student’s surrender. A suicide bomber killed 10 after attacking a government convoy in North Waziristan, while an IED attack killed five in Swat.
