Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Attention everyone: I’d like to call out the fact that I got the weapon and method EXACTLY corrrect.
The RPK-74 is the extended barrel version of the AK-47. And they used tracer bullets to assist with aiming, as I stated earlier.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Im confused as to why an all out attack on Karachi airport did not result in suspension of flights, and a few shots fired at Peshawar airport resulted in the suspension of 3 airlines. Argument can be made that in the case of Peshawar, an aircraft was hit...but then again, in Karachi, aircrafts were not far from being hit either.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Becuz in Peshawar passengers were injured and killed. Its an airlines' responsibility to make sure its passengers are safe till they leave. They'll be in big trouble if there's any causality within the plane.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
They also need to balance it out against revenue. Most likely more passengers fly into Karachi than into Peshawar. They want to be seen responsible, just enough so it does not affect their profits.

In Karachi, airliners and passengers were as much, if not more at risk as in peshawar. I think it was a symbolic + financial decision, otherwise security has been an issue in Pakistan for what seems like ages.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Karachi Airport was first of its kind in last one year, then come Qadri Saga where Emirates was hijacked for 5-6 hours and then this fire incident...
the trend clearly show anarchy and unrest and insecurity, hence the blockage, Cathay Pacific had stopped its operation soon after Karachi incident...

Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
The terrorists have finally succeeded in their objectives by having international flights to Peshawar halted. This would create problems only for the people of their own areas. Such is the level of intellect they have. The reason of halting the flights to Peshawar comes from the fear that the descent of flights near Peshawar start from tribal areas.

Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
With the attacks on country's airports, they have proven that they are enemies of Pakistan itself. Whatever talk they had about America, India, etc. was nothing but BS. It was meant to dupe common people in supporting their terrorist activities against our own country.
But now they are exposed totally. Not even aale Sharif and Imran dare call them 'apnay log' or say any cr** like 'we are fighting America's war'.
This operation is all thanks to Raheel Sharif. Otherwise aale Sharif and Imran would still not have taken any action against them.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Kudos to KP police for their quick investigation. If that culprit could be captured then it would definitely increase confidence of all airlines.

Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport

Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
I didnt know Dawn has a urdu ver as well. I couldnt find detail of this arrest, can you post more?
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
A major breakthrough indeed, but sadly not a breaking news worthy material.
The Peshawar authorities were on this case the following day of the tragedy, so glad to know they’ve captured the monster.
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport
Can we please break-through this commander? 
Re: Another tragic incident at Peshawar airport

Unfortunately that is true about any police force (at least in Pakistan), even our army does that... right after some terrorism incident our army will launch a plane-bombing of some FATA area and claim that 'mastermind of that terrorism activity has been killed' :(
