<b>Defiance in Pakistan at Red Mosque cleric's funeral</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> The chief cleric, Maulana Abdul Aziz, was escorted by police to the village, Basti Abdullah, so that he could lead the funeral attended by about 3,000 mourners and some 700 police, including 100 plainclothes officers, officials said. Aziz remains under arrest facing charges including possession of illegal weapons and involvement in terrorism. Officials did not immediately comment on why they let him preach at the funeral.

Meanwhile, the bodies of about 70 of Ghazi's followers, including two minors, were buried in a graveyard near Islamabad's police academy. Officials said they took photographs, fingerprints and DNA samples from the bodies before the simple wooden coffins were lowered into shallow, temporary graves to help relatives identify and claim the bodies later.

According to official reports, 108 people died in eight days of fighting around the mosque and its adjoining girls' seminary, which militants had used as a base to challenge the government with an increasingly aggressive anti-vice campaign in the capital. <b>Many in Pakistan are skeptical and believe the death toll could be higher</b>.

<b>Many of the protesters chanted "Go, Musharraf, go!" and "Musharraf is a dog!"</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I don't understand, why they insult dogs?
Why they have not kept them in morque? They are hiding head count.
