Islamabad: Liveblogging the takedown of Jihadi "burqa man"

Security forces in Islamabad, Pakistan today arrested the leader of a radical mosque after a bloody standoff -- the man was trying to escape the siege disguised in a burqa, according to authorities, but his pot belly is said to have given him away. Link to Reuters account. The Islamabad metblog had the most thorough online coverage I could find as the event was unfolding -- kind of wild to watch a story like this documented in real time, by folks who live there. Link to one of several much-updated posts on that site. (thanks, Sean Bonner)
