Pakistani Air Force Base With Nuclear Ties Is Attacked

KARACHI, Pakistan — Suspected Islamist militants attacked a major Pakistani Air Force base with links to the country’s nuclear program in the early hours of Thursday, setting off an exchange of fire that lasted several hours.
Security forces battled attackers until dawn at the Minhas air force base, west of the capital, Islamabad, according to reports on Pakistani television. At least one militant was killed and several others were wounded.

The assault came amid mounting speculation that Pakistan’s military was preparing to carry out an operation in the militant stronghold of North Waziristan, in the tribal belt — a longstanding demand of the United States.

Early reports suggested the attackers, some of whom wore suicide jackets, were targeting JF-17 fighter jets stationed at the base that could be used in such an operation.

It was not clear how many warplanes were stationed at the base, or whether any were damaged in the assault.

The base, in the Attock district of Punjab, is believed to be one of the locations where part of Pakistan’s nuclear stockpile, estimated to include at least 100 warheads, is stored.

Militants have attacked the base twice already — in 2007, when a suicide bomber hit a bus near the entrance, and in 2008, when militants fired several rockets into the base.

The latest assault resembled a May 2011 assault on a military base in Karachi in which at least two American-built surveillance aircraft were destroyed. It was not entirely unexpected.

On Aug. 10, the newspaper The Express Tribune, quoting intelligence officials, reported that the Pakistani Taliban were planning to attack an air force base near Lahore before the religious holiday of Id al-Fitr, which is expected to fall around Monday.

Arif Rafiq, an adjunct scholar at Middle East Institute in Washington, noted that the attack coincided with the speculation about a military operation in North Waziristan. “The Taliban are telling Pakistan’s leadership, ‘If you hit us here, we’ll hit you everywhere,’ ” he said.

Salman Masood contributed reporting.

No it was anticipated that 9 terrorists are inside the complex but after the operation was completed they counted only 6. They could not run away as they were inside the base and surrounded by the SSG from every corner

Geo tv yabliyan maar raha hay, pathetic reporting.

Not just Geo, but every channel that is reporting this is pathetic.


Theres so many rumors going on right now (ranging from how many people were killed/injured to if any planes were damaged) that I give up.

In a couple of hours we'll know the whole story hopefully.

RPGs were fired from outside the base ,
they used local population as safe point for entry ,
they were fully loaded with automatic weapons and had motive to make maximum damage,
still situation is not fully ok and search operation in progress..
there is damage for sure , upto what extent has to be confirmed officially yet ...
that,s the report up til now

Geo news don't Know iota about battle tactics , Wat a foolish Questions they are asking.

 

[razgriz19]

why Pakistan even bothers to buy aircraft when they incapable of keeping them safe?
this is ridiculous

attacking the facility is different than damaging the aircrafts!!
security forces cant just shoot anyone who walks by nearby the base!
the militants were in military uniform, security personnel could not distinguish them from terrorists.
They attacked. We stoped it.
NO AIRCRAFT WERE DAMAGE!

So think before you say something!

 

[REHAN NIAZI FALCON]

we need to look for black sheep inside our armed forces ,
those mir jafirs are biggest threat to our armed forces

 

[A1Kaid]

Everything will be alright.

Message from the Pakistan Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
