Wagah border blast: Pakistan holds retreat ceremony, India takes a break

Pakistan performed the beating retreat ceremony at Wagah border after a suicide attack while India took a break after the blast killed almost 60 people on the Pakistani side. India's home ministry had earlier said the daily flag-lowering ceremony would be suspended at Wagah-Attari border as a mark of respect for the dead - the first time the parade would have been called off since the two countries went to war in 1971. But later Pakistani officials changed their mind and deciding to go ahead with the ritual to send a message to the militants.
