Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
Well our security forces keep on harping that our nuclear installations are safe i was reading in dawn that pns naval base is only about 15 kms away from maybe pakistan's biggest nuclear stockpile. We keep on reminding India of the intelligence failure in Mumbai they have pulled their act together after that, we have suffered far more serious attacks than Mumbai like attack on ghq, naval base isi headquarters. It shows the capacity and capabilities of our security forces, agar thori so bhi ghairat ho hamaray jarnailon main tou chullu bhar paani main doob marain

Navy has most of the nice beaches in Karachi. Taliban are after them, perhaps.
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
Why are people blaming politicians? Was Osama found in a house on constitution avenue? Is parliament under attack? Is it politicians' job to protect military? Does Pakistan military take direction from political leadership on security and foreign policy issues?
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
Well Taliban admitted and claimed the attack on naval base as a reveange of OBN death, some reports of killing Mulla Omer hmm.
Mods plz.ban all and any of the Member who have even a little soft corner for these animals.

**So … the operation is over ??? **
PNS Mehran Operation: 4 militants blew themselves, 12 martyred
Geo News correspondent reported from the vicinity of PNS Mehran that four militants blew themselves up, while the security forces have arrested four other militants.
Correspondent Tariq Abul Hassan also said that the arrested terrorists camouflaged themselves with dark dresses and fake cards have been recovered from them.
According to official spokesman, 11 navy and one Rangers personnel embraced martyrdom taking the toll to 12.
The operation against militants who attacked PNS Mehran started at 10.30 pm on Sunday.
The assault was the fourth on the navy in Karachi in a month. On April 28, four naval personnel and a passing motorcyclist were killed in a bombing, two days after four other people were killed in two navy bus bombings.
If the operation is still underway, I would request an update please …

Talking to Express 24/7, retired Air Commodore Jamal Hussain said security officials will not announce that operation is complete “till they are absolutely certain the compound is secure.”
“Even if they suspect that one militant is at large, they will not announce that it is over,” he said.
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
@ anwar pasha ^ let's leave comments like this for faux news etc, shall we? It's parliamentarians' responsibility to rais these concerns at RIGHT platform and ask tough questions from individuals responsible for security (far away from media). Unfortunately, they are like headless chickens running in all directions.
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
Geo just reported that no one was captured alive.... The last terrorist was caught by a ranger but he blew himself up.....The operation was slow because the priority was to capture them alive....Geo reported also said after destroying the P3 the terrorist knew where to go and they headed towards the block where Chinese engineers are.....
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
Good riddance.. We can't afford them being released by courts on "technical grounds" anyway.
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
whether TTP did it or anyone else, thats not the issue..
The issue is, are we going to stay ignorant as always that Pakistan IS IN WAR? and when it is WAR, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, anyone raising arms against the country shall be taken out, INSIDER or OUTSIDER..
Political Parties need to throw down THEIR flags and raise PAKISTANI flag for once.. If they don't do it then i would prefer giving control back to Military, at least in their control, Pakistanis were living peacefully..
Kill every one who even "talks" against PAKISTAN!!!!! simple as that!!!.. If you are not a Patriot, You either need to get the fcuk out or get killed, two options.. thats it!!!!

The operation to regain control of the Karachi naval base assaulted by Taliban militants has been completed after almost 16 hours of fighting with up to 20 assailants holed up in a building, a security official told Reuters from inside the base.
“The operation is over. The main building has been cleared,” the official said. “For precaution, we are continuing search around for any more terrorists but the main operation is over.”

Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
2 out of 4 PC-3 Orion latest aircrafts have been destroyed by the terrorists of RAW and CIA. Surely this is an intelligence warfare conducted by RAW and CIA. Becoz these PC-3 Orion aircrafts gave the facility to Pakistan Navy to destroy the enemy submarine through the air attack and was very costly aircraft. each aircraft costs Rs.3060000000/- per unit and so Pakistan had suffered a huge loss of over 6 billion ruppees. and this had also lessen the strength of navy. and this was the main objective of our enemy. in which it had succeeded. Now Pakistan must do the same thing with the identified enemies. if they belonged to RAW and CIA. Counter attack of intelligence must be performed as soon as possible to deal the enemy with iron hands. As you sow, so shall you weep. simple is that.
Re: Blast and Gunfire in PAF Base in Karachi
