Why would anyone want to attack a civilian airport?
It is not civilian airport...basically they attacked PAF base Peshawar but failed. Inside what happen no body knows coz explosive van (VBIED) hit the out wall of the base/airport which is not understood. I only guess that may b once again may be security forces catch the fishes earlier.
Defence Minister Naveed Qamar has said that the terrorists used full backup in the attack on Peshawar Airbase, however, army and air force personnel thwarted this organized assault, Geo News reported.
Talking to ‘Geo News’ by telephone, Naveed Qamar said the militants attacked with full planning, adding several suicide bombers were among the attackers.
The defence minister said neither Peshawar airport nor airbase of PAF was damaged in the attack.
It is impossible to tell the correct number of militants at this time, he said.
and then TTP as usual announce this
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) late on Saturday claimed responsibility for attack on Peshawar airport, Geo News reported.
‘We carried out this attack. Our 10 associates took part in this and target was air force base in the Peshawar airport’ TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told ‘Geo News’ anchor Saleem Safi by telephone from an undisclosed location.
He said two explosive-laden vehicles were also used at different places in the attack.
