Xeni had this to say on BoingBoing today:


Security forces in Islamabad, Pakistan arrested the leader of
a radical mosque after a bloody standoff -- the man was trying to escape the siege disguised in a burqa, according to authorities, but his pot belly is said to have given him away. Link to Reuters account. The Islamabad metblog
had the most thorough online coverage I could find as the event was
unfolding -- kind of wild to watch a story like this documented in real
time, by folks who live there. Link to one of several much-updated posts on that site. (thanks, Sean Bonner)
