Musharraf leads memorial for quake victims

Pakistan’s president led a sombre memorial service today in Kashmir to mark the first anniversary of a massive earthquake that killed more than 80,000 people.

Sirens wailed and a minute’s silence was held at 8.52am local time, when the 7.6-magnitude earthquake first struck across northern Pakistan and in the war-divided region of Kashmir, leaving more than 100,000 wounded and 3.5 million homeless.
