Lal Masjid Showdown: The End?

At around 2 am the government imposed a curfew in the G-8 area of Islamabad, where the Lal Masjid is located. Apparently, the special forces were called in and given instructions to shoot on sight. The students at the mosque were told to surrender or action would be taken. I've been hearing intermittent gunfire from my apartment, which is close to the mosque. There's going to be a lot of carnage today as this plays out.
