Dead bodies everywhere inside Pakistan mosque: Witness

ISLAMABAD: Dead bodies are 'everywhere' inside the Lal Masjid raided by troops on Tuesday, a source inside the complex said.

A man who picked up one of top mosque cleric Abdul Rashid Ghazi's mobile phones said those inside were under 'massive bombing and gunfire. This is indiscriminate killing'.

"There is no contact with each other because no one can leave the rooms and basements. There are dead bodies everywhere," the witness added, declining to give his name as explosions and gunfire echoed in the background.

One of those killed was Ghazi's elderly mother, who died of suffocation from smoke caused by blasts, while Ghazi was still alive, the source added.
