1. The encounter that started around 3:30 am this morning has ended, a senior Punjab police officer has been quoted as saying by news agency the Press Trust of India.
2. Pathankot is a key air base for MiG-21 Bison fighters and Mi-35 attack helicopters, located 50 kilometers from the border with Pakistan and 200 kilometers from state capital Chandigarh. The terrorists entered the air base in an official vehicle. They were wearing military uniform.
3. Intelligence inputs had warned about a possibility of an attack at the base yesterday. The terrorists were contained in periphery of the air base. The area where fighter aircraft and helicopters are kept is safe, officials said.
4. The attack is suspected to have been carried out by the terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Sources say the attackers were from Bhawalpur in Pakistan and were ordered to blow up the helicopters stationed at the base.
5. Soon after the attack, former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, tweeted, "That was quick. Here's the first major challenge to the PM Modi's bold Pakistan gambit."
6. "The army led the anti-terror operations at the base with National Security Guard's Black Cat Commandos leading the primary counter-attack. The army's Special Forces and IAF's garud commandos also provided support. Army's Casspir armoured personnel carriers were used to close in on the administrative block of the air base, where the terrorists were holed up.
7. Sources say the vehicle used by the terrorists was the car of the Superintendent of Police of Gurdaspur that was 'hijacked' in Pathankot yesterday. A group of men in army fatigues took away the police officer's car after assaulting him and also snatched his phone.
8. The terrorists reportedly used this phone to contact their handlers in Pakistan. The call was intercepted by intelligence agencies, sources say, following which an alert was issued.
9. Following the warning, sources say, the National Security Advisor held an urgent meeting with senior officials late last night. Following directions from the Prime Minister's Office, commandos of the National Security Guard, Special Forces of the Indian Army and additional soldiers were moved to strengthen the defences of the base.
10. Today's attack comes six months after another terror strike in Punjab's Gurdaspur, when three terrorists equipped with grenades and AK-47s opened fire in Dinanagar killing three civilians. The terrorists were shot dead after a 12-hour long gun-battle.

Nobody will believe Indians, as nobody This is purely the work of Khalistanis. Otherwise penetration/infiltration to this high security base would be impossible.

Last time you said so , it was found that the terrorists were from "Religion of Peace" .

They are always carrying passports, ID cards packed in a bomb / fire proof packaging, never forget these things before attack.
Did they need to enter next world with these crap ?

Modi visit to Afghanistan then suddenly visit Lahore then attack, daal mien kuch tou kala hey..After getting assurance from Afghan intelligence that they will help more attacks inside Pakistan during any conflict with India May be Modi visit Lahore to show he is ready for peace but Pakistan back stab them..

May be I am not in favour of such attacks any where. But the whole Afghan visit, stop over at Lhr and then this! If the blame is put on Pakistan just be very sure that they will provide similar sequence of evidence as Pakistan provided for the APS linking to Afghanistan. Calls will be traced, audio will be issued, direct orders during a live operation will be sounded etc etc

That's how hostile intelligence agencies communicate with each other

Well that didn't take long after Modi's visit.

Continued aggression between India and Pakistan is big business for ALOT of companies and individuals on both sides of the border. We will never achieve peace because elements on both sides don't want one. What they do want are bloated defense budgets, more guns, more planes, more missiles.

The only ones who continue to suffer in these high stakes poker games are people like you and me. We're the ones who are blown up.

Nothing will happen over the next few days except reinvigorated efforts to make our armies stronger and the rich even richer. It's a god dam bloody joke.

Most of these are speculation by media...... Some of them may be true, some of them may not be.... But i guess we should wait official version or statements by agencies or govt.

Nothing befitting will be given from our side .....

I agree.
