Fresh clashes have erupted around the Red Mosque in Islamabad as a group of Muslim clerics failed in their attempt to reach the compound to negotiate an end to the standoff.
Al Jazeera's Rageh Omaar said members of the delegation from religious parties complained they were prevented from reaching the mosque on Saturday by security forces.
Hundreds of troops have surrounded the fortified compound housing the mosque and a girls' madrassa since Tuesday when months of tension erupted into violence.
"Security forces are not allowing us to go in and they have opened fire," Samia Raheel Qazi, a member of parliament, said.
"Whatever happens now, the government will be responsible."
The delegation had received permission from Abdul Rashid Ghazi, the senior cleric at the mosque, to enter the compound and was hoping to persuade him to send out children holed up inside.
