April 17. 2009 Pakistani men pray next to a bullet-ridden vehicle parked outside the compound of the Red Mosque in Islamabad. Just one day after his release from prison, the mosque's radical leader, Maulana Abdul Asis, returned to the prayer hall, calling for followers to fight to the death for the enforcement of Islamic law across the militancy-plagued country. "The more victims there are, the faster we will spread Islam," Asis said in front of hundreds of followers. The preacher, who was released on bail, is accused of leading the insurgency of radical Koran students in the mosque in Islamabad in July 2007. At least 100 died when Pakistani troops stormed into the complex that month. Asis tried to escape by dressing as a woman in a burqa, but he was captured.
