A Pakistani mourner reacts during the funeral procession of Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer in Lahore, Pakistan, on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011. Thousands of Pakistani police were on high alert in Lahore ahead of the funeral for the outspoken provincial governor, who was shot dead allegedly by a bodyguard reportedly enraged by Mr. Taseer's opposition to laws decreeing death for insulting Islam.
