My understanding is that when he attempted to surrender, 5 jihadis, guarding him, shot him and fired at the advancing commandos. They fired back, there are likely a number of wounds.
These guys will get the Profiles in Courage Award from the Religion o' Peace.
“army commandos spotted Ghazi and his three guards trying to escape from a breach in the wall created by the army to rescue the women and children held hostage in the Jamia Hafsa compound. Ghazi and his guards were heading towards the nullah /= steep narrow valley (my comment)/ behind the Jamia Hafsa madrassa.
“The commandos chased Ghazi and his guards and the latter took refuge in a room near the breach in the wall. One of Ghazi’s guards, an Uzbek, fired on a commando who was trying to take a look inside the room. The militant’s bullet missed the commando, who retaliated, killing all the four men inside,” said the source.”

As a rule, I roll my eyes whenever I hear Pakistanis claim "Uzbek" or "Chechen" terrorist kills.
10. According to independent and reliable police sources, there were not more than 15 non-Afghan foreigners inside. Of these, three were the armed Uzbeck bodyguards of Abdul Rashid Ghazi, the deputy chief of the masjid, who was killed along with his bodyguards. The remaining 12 were Uighur students - boys and girls- who had surrendered, but were allegedly killed by the Army.
However, the picture at #281 indicates that he was shot at short distance, check the powder burns around the bullet hole. Are any other pictures posted?
Ah. Thanks. The Uighur connection makes more sense as well because the Red Mosque guys went after Chinese nationals in a big way.
