Pakistani officials allowed the Red Mosque to reopen for Friday prayers, and the jihadis moved right back in and started killing again: Blast Near Islamabad’s Red Mosque Kills 11.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan�—� Hundreds of students clashed with security forces and a nearby bombing killed 11 people Friday during the reopening of Islamabad’s Red Mosque for the first time since a bloody army raid to oust Islamic militants from the complex.

The bomb struck the Muzaffar Hotel, in a downtown market area about a quarter mile from the mosque. Local television showed victims — many of them bleeding or badly burned, with their clothing in tatters — being carried from the wreckage to waiting ambulances.

Amir Mehmood, a witness, said he saw blood, body parts, and shreds of a Punjab police uniform inside the hotel.
