Attack on PNS Mehran Base - PAF Faisal Base

[Dance]

I highly doubt this was a OBL revenge. This sort of highly skilled attack takes months of planning

 

[Gin ka Pakistan]

I think least best officers are given security branch and only VIP is given layered security . This P3 were as important to defense as a General why can't they have layered security,
The best should be sent to security branch not the lowest score job .

Put APCs around assets , its war on Pakistan by its enemy who want to destroy its eye on the sea.

There are a lot of similarities in this attack and the one happened in Mumbai on 26/11.

Wonder if its not a sort of revenge taken by the indian intelligence agencies.

enemy who want to destroy its eye on the sea.

Really, I don't know about that - I think the mission was/is of a more strategic vision -- the aircraft are just equipment, but the hit delivered to the credibility of the state and the armed forces, the hit the population has to take -- they hit the Navy buses, you know that had to be inside job and now this, especially since the ministry of the interior had apparently warned of a imminent attack but seemingly either incompetence or political bad blood between the uniformed and civilian politicians has prevented the internalization of this warning.

Certainly the detailed training to have three separate attacks, the intensity of it, the determination to make it a fight to the death -- but an Indian operation, Pleeez --

There are a lot of similarities in this attack and the one happened in Mumbai on 26/11.

I would rather speculate that this attack has stark similarities in terms of operation and modalities and a possibility of being carried out by the same group that was responsible for the 26/11 attack.

[Zarvan]

[MiloMayor]

Just came back home after a long trip and saw the news. I really feel sorry for you guys. Hopefully your commandos will be able to take control the situation at the earliest and capture some of them alive. A cowardly act by cowards should not affect the moral of your armed forces and their fight against these terrorist. Get rid of all these parasites. This is the time you should support your armed forces morally.May God bless Pakistan.

9 killed, several airplanes destroyed in air force base attack in Pakistan - People's Daily Online 08:20, May 23, 2011

Fire and smokes erupt from a Pakistan's military air base after an attack by militants in southern Pakistan's Karachi on May 23, 2011. Four foreigners reportedly killed in a terrorist attack at a Pakistan Air Force base in Karachi late Sunday night. (Xinhua /Arshad)

At least nine people including three troops and six militants were killed in a terrorist attack on a Pakistan air force base in the country's southern port city of Karachi late Sunday night, local Urdu TV channel ARY reported.

Besides, several military airplanes including imported U.S. made P.3.C Orion aircraft were reportedly destroyed in the attack.

Earlier news reports said that four foreigners were killed in the attack and they were believed to be U.S. engineers working at the air force base, but a spokesman for the U.S. embassy here denied the report, saying no U.S. nationals were killed in the attack.

The terror attack occurred at about 10:30 p.m. local time Sunday night when three explosions were first heard inside the air force base, followed by heavy gunfire.

The government troops immediately cordoned off the area shortly after the blasts, media people, even rescue teams and ambulances were not allowed to enter the area, no one knows what exactly is going on inside the air force base, said a witness.

Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik later told a local media that a Pakistan air force base in Karachi is under terrorist attack.

Local media reports said that an estimated 10 to 15 terrorists were involved in the attack and they were armed with automatic weapons, rockets and handgrenades.

Up till now, nine explosions have been heard inside the air force base.

Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani has ordered Interior Minister Rehman Malik to watch over the situation. Navy forces, rangers and other armed forces have been dispatched to the air force base and helicopters are hovering over the air force base to monitor the situation there, according to local media reports.

News reports said that the terrorists are targeting at the airplanes dwelling in the hangars at the air force base. At least two airplanes have been destroyed completely and several others have caught fire during the gunfire.

Pakistan Taliban (TTP) has reportedly said they are responsible for the air force base attack.

Following the killing of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden by the U.S. special task force in Pakistan's northwestern city of Abbottabad early this month, both Pakistan Taliban and al-Qaida have vowed to avenge the death of bin Laden by threatening to launch attacks not only in Pakistan, but also in the United States as well as in the other parts of the world.

On May 13, Pakistan Taliban launched two suicide bomb attacks on an armed border police training center in the country's northwestern city of Charsadda, killing 98 people and injuring over 140 others. This is the first major attack launched by Pakistan Taliban following the killing of Osama bin Laden.
