Some 11 soldiers and 75 people, mainly militants, inside the Lal Masjid complex were killed during the raid on the mosque a week ago. The operation ended a months-long standoff with the mosque's followers who wanted the imposition of sharia law in Pakistan.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has pledged to attack those responsible for the upsurge in violence ever since government troops raided the Islamabad mosque.
