India's Rapid Action Force soldiers patrol in front of a mosque in Mumbai, India, Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010. An Indian court ruled Thursday that a disputed holy site in Ayodhya that has sparked bloody communal riots across the country in the past should be divided between the Hindu and Muslim communities, a lawyer involved in the suit said. The Muslim community said it would appeal the ruling in the 60-year-old case to the Supreme Court. Muslims revere the compound in Ayodhya as the site of the now-demolished 16th century Babri Mosque, while Hindus say it is the birthplace of the god Rama. (AP Photo/Rajanish Kakade)
