India, Pakistan Lower Flag At Wagah Border Ceremony Day After Deadly Attack -- Reuters

India's home ministry had earlier said the daily flag-lowering ceremony would be suspended 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.
