MORE trouble at the Red Mosque:

At least nine people have been killed in clashes between security forces and militant students at a mosque in the Pakistani capital, officials say.

A soldier, two students and a journalist were among the dead.

Armed students at the mosque and religious schools linked to it have defied the authorities for months in a campaign for Islamic Sharia law.
