Madam You seriously believe someone other than TTP is involved in this.

The TTP wants the world to believe that they are some sort of unified group with a central command and control that plots all this.

The reality is that, like AQ, they function as a loose amalgamation of various gangs, Taliban factions and other extremist organizations across Pakistan and Afghanistan. These various groups may or may not cooperate in recruitment, training, attacks etc. They largely have independent leadership, with some loose acknowledgement of a 'central leader'.

The TTP may or may not have known that this attack was being planned, and may or may not have provided some level of support for the attack in the form of material, training, men, funds etc.

Could be an AQ organized and led attack, with TTP taking credit since AQ does not have a major presence in the public sphere in Pakistan - AQ is basically using TTP (and some other organizations) to advance its agenda in Pakistan.

Agno TTP has been weakened so badly they dont have leadership. Baitullah, Hakimullah, Muslim Khan all have been reduced to dust so now this groups is just clinging to bigger terror groups .

here in Peshawar we joke about them that in morning when they wake up and someone tells them that there was an attack, they immediately claim it.


My gut feeling is this attack might have close link with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi people

from various news Militants targeted Navy, not aircrafts: Naval Chief

KARACHI: The chief of Pakistan Navy Admiral Nauman Bashir, rejecting the impression that terrorists wanted to cause material damage to Navy, has said that terrorists targeted the Naval forces, Geo News reported Sunday.

Naval Chief was addressing a press conference here after completion of retaliatory operation by Pakistan’s armed forces to regain complete control of PNS Mehran.

He said two destroyed aircrafts P-3C Orion were worth $40 million. “Terrorists stormed PNS Mehran from Eastern side and were well experienced sharpshooters.”

“After entering into naval base, two of the militants mounted atop a tower while as many hid themselves behind the bushes,” he revealed, adding that they later fired six rockets.

Nauman dismissed rumors of security breach. “This attack could not be termed as security lapse,” he stated.

Navy commandos reached the base three minutes after armed assault, he added. He said that Lieutenant Yasir led the retaliatory operation and was martyred in the process.

After the first assault, the terrorists were completely restrained from carrying out more attack, he added.

To a question, Admiral Nauman Bashir said that terrorists escaped through the same route from which they entered the Naval facility. “I remained in constant touch with President, Prime Minister and other top security personnel,” he informed.

He expressed the confidence that the investigation would uncover the militants involved in the assault.

look agno the biggest question is if taliban revenged the osama killings, why they didnt kill people esp army guys and attacked a multi million dollar plane if it was taliban and alquaeda, second who provided advanced weapons and training to them??

Well everyone has a role to play either you are sitting abroad or here. those sitting abroad can help in correcting misconception about our country that will be greater help and support than what we can do here in Pakistan

Yes, but it takes me months and years to build up trust and understanding and communication, and one horrific event after event in Pakistan lands me back to square one!

No, in fact, even worse.

Just watched a very embarrasing piece on this whole episode on UK news.

 

[Evil Flare]

just one question what Pakistani nation has to do after this attack?

We should order the evacuation of N Waziristan ( 2 week time ) .. all peoples leaving from there shall be checked & then Carpet Bomb the whole area ...

JanaJee, it is not as simple as that. Even if the other party biased, it is to our advantage to keep making the effort to at least make them appreciate our point of view, and one simply cannot walk away from engagement. It has to be a continuous process, but the deluge of bad news makes it very very hard.
