Attack on PNS Mehran Base - PAF Faisal Base

[JonAsad]

Kuch aise hi halat hain.

Firstly, these bases have been here for years but they were built at a time when there were no civilian inhabitants around.

So the logical thing to do would be to relocate because you do not put your aircrafts, heli's and what not in the middle of the city.

Secondly, there should be a lot of security around the base but that was missing too.

Thirdly, there were no visible emergency plans in place, the terrorists first set fire to the fire brigades.

No money, no will.

You know what your country has to do.

Thats the best option left for Pakistan to safeguard at least its military repute- Set up bases away from population and just shot any unauthorized breach- Lay mine fields- its a shame that it has come to this in our own territory-

Those who know the training regime of Pakistan SSG will be surprised that why it took them12 lives and 14 hours to take down handful of terrorists who were mildly armed.
any ideas?

well this might be the case, but we have just witnessed a very disgraceful & pathetic knock of the security services incompetence.

Millitary is there to protect the citizens of their respective countries ... and you are saying that they should protect themselves only

I don't get it, if alqaeeda is seeking vengeance then why not attack the American lackey's; Zardari and Kiyani, who are the decision makers. Why are they targeting the innocents? It's hard to digest the notion that this attack didn't have any foreign interests.

.

forget all cctv and security, this place has/had wedding halls in there. there was a museum open to public. access inside was as easy as can be. this was no meticuliously planned operation from the terrorists side, they walked in easily just short of a physical invitation and roamed about looking for expensive assets to destroy.

Thats why they are called senseless terrorists coz they attack weak and poor who nothing to do with anything

I agree with you but who is going to deal with the financial hub for all terrorists, this country called Saudi Arabia has been funding and promoting its violent ideology for a very long time leading to this global predicament.

Perhaps USA can use its clout to exterminate the ideological and financial source of terrorism that stems from Middle Eastern nations especially Saudi Arabia.
@t faz

i agree with ur view but i think it ll be better if we counter there ideology, reason is it's more dangerous than there money & funding for these entities.

Many of Indian installations have civilians living and moving around it. Worst still people are encroaching on defence areas. I guess similar disaster waiting to happen in India.

ill keep repeating talibans are not as well trained as these terrorists were, they were highly well trained, had army gorilla like training, 6-7 men combatted the hundreds of army personel including the naval commandos, ssg and rangers, they completely knew the area or say much better then naval commandos themselves, two of them also escaped, who trained them, where they came from and which ethnicity they were is a big question mark, this is massive attack

it highly possible that nato and americans may have trained them for this special op

Just use the "reply with quote" option mate. Easier to read.

Change your flags... Will you please?

But to answer your question, in normal asset transactions, most asset transactions backed by a replacement warranty always has a 'Force Majeaure' clause, which exludes any natural calamities, political and military uncertainities and Terror Strikes as the condition that make the replacement warranties null and void... No one used the 'terror strike' as a clause before 9/11 and after that it has been accepted as an acceptable norm globally... So, in normal course, the answer is 'not covered'

very true wtf is up with pakistani security didn't they learn from the GHQ attack ? this naval base was pretty much open to the public through the museum anyone can come in they made such an important place such an easy target .
