11 Terrorists dead, 3 nabbed as Quetta airport attack fails.

QUETTA: At least three personnel of Anti Terrorism Force (ATF) were injured after militants armed with rocket propelled grenades and automatic weapons launched an attack on Pakistan Airforce’s Samugli airbase and Quetta Airport near the outskirts of the city late on Thursday night.

Airport police SHO Athar Rasheed said between five to six militants were hiding in a storm drain around half a kilometer from the airport in Killi Khezi area from where they had fired around 10 rockets.

“Security forces from airbase opened fire after they spotted the armed men and their suspicious movement around half kilometer from the base.,” Rasheed said. He added that rockets fired by the militants exploded near Samugli airbase.

In retaliation, the Anti-Terrorism Force (ATF) and Frontier Corps (FC) was mobilised, which tried to cordon off the attackers. During this process, the security forces were fired upon, injuring three ATF personnel. The injured personnel were shifted to Combined Military Hospital (CMH).

“There was intense firing from airbase and we requested them to stop because it became difficult to surround the terrorists,” Rasheed said adding that the Pakistan Airforce told the police about the presence of terrorists on the outskirts of Quetta.

Home Secretary Akbar Hussain Durrani said the Quetta International Airport and Smuggli Airbase are cleared and there was no attack. “The terrorists were near Killi Khezi, about half kilometer from airport, when they were stopped from moving towards airport,” Durrani told The Express Tribune.

There was no confirmation of deaths or injury to attackers though officials claimed that two attackers had been killed. The exchange of fire was still underway.

Whereas we will be left to deal with another civil war at our doorstep.



Mining an international border would only win us further condemnation and damage the little international prestige we have left.

Should care less about that, security is important than the back lash.
