Things that could go boom on the 4th

Pakistan on the edge:
Pakistan's president, Gen Pervez Musharraf, faced a violent challenge to his authority last night after nine people were killed in clashes between security forces and radical Islamist students.

After six months of deadlock, gun battles flared between police and students from a religious seminary in the heart of the capital, Islamabad. More than 140 were injured in the shooting.
