Radical muslim cleric killed by pakistani troopers!

Today saw the pakistani troopers raid the Red mosque in the heart of Islamabad where the radical cleric was holed up with his supporters which mainly consisted of women.President Musharaff was indeed caught between a rock and a hard place.the radical cleric and his brother and followers were getting out of hand with their demand to have the shariat law imposed all over pakistan.with things coming to a head,Musharaff gave them an ultimatum,surrender or face the consequences.please remember that the Musharaff government is supported in the center by a radical muslim group who are not going to be all too happy with the current turn of events.what is more,this political group is now going to come under enormous pressure which may force them to reconsider their support to the Musharaff government.
Either way with a dammed if he does or dammed if he does not,Musharaff finally had enough and gave the orders to the troopers to raid the mosque.fighting is currently going on with hand to hand battles in almost every room.the rebels are giving as good as they get and the story is yet to fully play out.either way President Musharaff is heading into some really troubled times.will he survive this,probably but his political career is almost over with this faux paus.after all if one were to attack the very hand that one is fed by,what support can one count on come elections which by the way are not that far away!
