ISLAMABAD, July 10 (Reuters) - Twenty children escaped from the compound of a radical mosque in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, on Tuesday after security forces launched an operation to clear it of militants, the military said.

"Twenty children have managed to escape during the fire. An intense engagement is going on with the militants," said military spokesman Major-General Waheed Arshad.
