A man mourns in the rubble outside the Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, after it reopened to the public for prayers in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on July 27, 2007. Pakistani police fired tear gas on Friday to disperse protesting radical Islamists who had spoiled government plans for activities to resume smoothly at the mosque complex hit this month by a deadly commando raid, which the government said left 102 people dead.

Pakistan peace activists sit after lighting candles in Lahore August 6, 2007, to mark the 62nd anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan. On August 6, 1945, an American B-29 Superfortress bomber Enola Gay dropped a 10,000-pound uranium 235 bomb on Hiroshima, instantly killing about 78,000 people. By the end of 1945, the number of dead had reached about 140,000 out of an estimated population of 350,000.
