Thu Jul 5, 2007 8:25 PM IST

By Y.P. Rajesh
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Pakistan's confrontation with militants at a mosque in Islamabad has brought home the dangers of terrorism to that country and India wishes it success in fighting the menace, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Thursday.
Singh's comments came as Pakistan struggled to end the face-off at the Lal Masjid after clashes that began on Tuesday with militant Taliban-style students holed up inside left 19 dead.
Singh told a group of women journalists he wished Pakistan "godspeed in tackling the dangerous situation" arising out of the fighting at the mosque in the national capital, NDTV quoted him as saying.
"Pakistan is seeing terrorism for the first time. What is happening in Pakistan, thinking people have realised fundamentalism is perverse and dangerous to society," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted him as saying.
India has long accused Pakistan of aiding and fomenting separatist militants fighting New Delhi's rule in Kashmir and launching attacks elsewhere across the country.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani security forces blew holes in the outer walls of a mosque on Thursday where hundreds of militant Muslim students have been holed up in a stand-off with authorities for three days, security officials said.
Smoke was rising from the compound housing the Red Mosque and a girls' madrasa in Islamabad following several explosions early Thursday evening. A fierce gunbattle was also heard.
Journalists at the scene saw some troops being moved, but no sign that an assault was imminent. The captured leader of the Taliban-style movement said earlier that there were around 850 students in the mosque, including 600 women. The government says some women and children were being used as human shields.
