ISLAMABAD, July 11 (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces found 73 bodies in a mosque complex on Wednesday a day after commandos stormed it in a battle with militants, a military spokesman said.

Previously, the military had estimated more than 50 militants were killed when troops stormed Islamabad's Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, after a week-long standoff with hardline clerics and their militants supporters.
