Pakistani Air Force Base With
Nuclear Ties Is Attacked

I think US is going to raise the question about the safety of nuclear weapons...

LOL ... so as a result of poor intel on our nukes they sent the terrorists to the worng target

 

[Kobalt]

im glad we have started telling you stuff like it needed to be told from the start.

your newly trained pets in afghanistan are giving a whole new meaning to making you eat lead at meal times hence you have tried to take out your frustration on Pakistan by sponsoring this terrorist attack on JF-17 manufacturing facility along with indian collaboration.

but alas the ding dong terrorist rats that you hired for this attack have now been dispatched to hell with not the kind of firworks that you had hoped for.

Let's not be too sure USA funded this attack. I know conspiracies are born fast, but I think it's too early to play the blame game.

If USA DID do this however, I'm so out of this place, I mean Obama's already a disgusting killer lmao, but this would be the straw that breaks this camel's back

Pakistani Air Force Base With Nuclear Ties Is Attacked

KARACHI, Pakistan — Suspected Islamist militants attacked a major Pakistani Air Force base where some of the country’s nuclear weapons are thought to be stored 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 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. 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 that the attackers, some wearing suicide jackets, were targeting JF-17 fighter jets 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.

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.

it could be insider job, see there is literally no casualty on pak side. they wanted to preempt this attack and blame US, so that the US dont send no one.

 

[Hashshāshīn]

The only nation which gains from this attack is US. Look at the timing of attack, just a day after questions were raised about the security of Pakistani Nuclear arsenal.

We, the common masses, don't get the real news, the news which reaches us is a mere refuse of the great political games played at the world level.

It's already been said that the air base didn't have nukes. US just trying to create propaganda as usual.

Already posted in this thread and Nuclear BS debunked in Reuters story.

Only one aircraft was damaged, an air force spokesman said, adding that the Minhas air base at Kamra, in central Punjab province, did not house nuclear weapons. "No air base is a nuclear air base in Pakistan," he said.

don't watch ZEE TV saas bahu serials its harm brain cells from conspiracies

 

[clmeta]

Even if it is an inside job, it is not mean to blame US. It must be meant to cooperate with the US to launch a much desired operation in North Waziristan.
However, it is too early to conclude its an inside operation. Lets wait for details and not rush in judgement.

[Rafi]

IMU - is an initial suspect - the takfiri have some Cyrillic writing on their persons according to one source - not been confirmed - their target was airforce aircraft.
