Breaking : Rebel cleric leader of "Red Mosque" killed in fierce battle
"PAKISTANI forces stormed a mosque compound yesterday, killing up to 50 militants including the rebel cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi, an interior ministry official said.

"I can confirm Ghazi is dead," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He was killed in the last stage of fighting."

Around 50 Islamist fighters had died earlier in the assault on Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque. Militants mounted a last stand in the basements of the madrasa, where Ghazi had barricaded himself, using women and children as human shields, said a military spokesman, Major-General Waheed Arshad."
