Airbases in Quetta targeted, 10 militants killed

QUETTA: Security forces early on Friday killed 10 militants attacking Samungli Air Base in Quetta.

Imran Qureshi, the Superintendent of Police told Dawn the operation was completed in the early hours of Friday.

Security forces also detained five suspects in connection with the attack targeting Samungli Air Base.

One militant in injured condition was also arrested by security officials and shifted to an unknown place for interrogation.

"Police are interrogating the suspects,” Qureshi said.

The dead militants seem to be 25 to 30 years of age.

"All dead terrorists seem to be Uzbeks,” Sarfaraz Bugti, the Home Minister Balochistan told Dawn.

Police said five militants were killed by security forces during the attack on the Samungli air base and five were killed at the Khalid Air Base located in the heart of Quetta cantonment.

A thorough search operation was conducted in the areas surrounding the Samungli base.

More than 20 huge explosions were heard during the operation, police said, adding that the blasts were followed by intense firing.

In the meantime, Quetta Airport was also closed for all kinds of flight operations. Security was tightened in and around the airport to avert any untoward incident.

Khan Wasey, a spokesman for Frontier Corps, told Dawn that the militants opened fire at the air base and hurled grenades.

He said security forces quickly responded and two militants were killed on the spot.

Wasey stated that the attackers also fired seven rockets that landed in the premises of the Khalid air base located in Quetta cantonment and in the Samungli air base area.

The injured policemen and ASF personnel were rushed to Civil Military Hospital Quetta for medical treatment. Emergency was imposed in the hospital to treat the injured.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Police and personnel from other security agencies had conducted a joint operation a month ago and arrested 100 suspects from Samungli, Kharotabad and other surrounding areas of the airport.

  • Quetta airbases secured as forces kill 10 terrorists

QUETTA: At least ten terrorists armed with assault rifles, hand grenades, and suicide vests were killed fighting with the security forces in seperate attacks on two airbases here on the night of Independence Day (Thursday) in Balochistan, Samaa reported.

Sarfaraz Bugti, the home minister of insurgency-hit Baluchistan province said that militants had tried to storm the Samungli airbase, used by Pakistan's Air Force, and Khalid military airbase, both in the provincial capital Quetta, but had failed to penetrate either perimeter.

Ten terrorists were killed in retaliation by security forces.
"The target of the attacks were both the airbases but police and security forces thwarted the attacks," he added. The airbases are some 12 kilometres (seven miles) apart in Quetta.

Mohammad Amlish, provincial police chief told AFP seven security personnel including four police, and three soldiers had been wounded in the gunbattle but that police had managed to stop the militants from entering the Samungli airbase through a drain.

"We have recovered three dead bodies. Two of them detonated their suicide vests after being encircled by police while one was shot dead," Amlish told AFP.

A senior military official said rockets were fired at Samungli airbase, with two landing inside the perimeter fence. He said no damage was caused.

Quetta city's police chief Abdul Razzaq Cheema told AFP that militants first launched an attack on Samungli airbase before targeting Khalid military airbase around an hour later. Police had defused four bombs near the outer wall of Khalid airbase, he said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks but the Taliban have threatened a bloody response to a recent Pakistan military offensive against militants in the North Waziristan tribal region.

Pakistan launched the offensive in mid-June shortly after a brazen attack on Karachi airport that left dozens dead and extinguished a largely fruitless peace process with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)

Later that month, gunmen opened fire at a plane landing at Peshawar airport in the country's northwest, killing a passenger and wounding two crew members.

The Pakistani Taliban and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan claimed joint responsibility for the Karachi airport attack.

North Waziristan has become a major base for the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, which rose up against the state in 2007, while the United States has long called for action in the area against militant groups targeting NATO forces in Afghanistan.

More than 500 militants and 27 soldiers have been killed in the assault so far, according to the military, though the death toll for insurgents cannot be independently confirmed.

Impoverished Baluchistan is wracked by an insurgency waged by ethnic Baluch tribes seeking greater autonomy from the federal government and a greater share of profits from the region's wealth of oil and gas resources.

The region has also been hit by attacks blamed on Taliban militants.

PAF Base Samungli is a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) airbase located near Quetta. Originally used as a forward operating location during exercises and wartime, it was converted into a main operating base during the 1970s. Samungli currently houses two PAF squadrons flying the Chengdu F-7PG combat aircraft.--SAMAA/Agencies

Indians lose money=Pull Out, Pack and Leave
Whereas we will be left to deal with another civil war at our doorstep.



Mining an international border would only win us further condemnation and damage the little international prestige we have left.
