To S10. I really feel sorry actually and its a feeling from my heart that chinese have been attacked in pakistan in past.chinese have always risked their lives for us. Whether it was Gomal zam dam near Waziristan or Shangla when Swat was nearly under taliban control. No pakistani can forget all this. But just wanted to tell you that we pakistanis care for our friends and specially when they are our guest. but i agree with you that this was clearly security failure, but let me also tell you that we cared more for our friends and their security was our first priority. Chinese were in a compound and navy commando's did every thing they could to stop terrorists getting anywhere close to that compound. And thankfully chinese friends are safe.

China Admits Its Technicians Were Held in Pakistan Base Attack
By IAN JOHNSON

BEIJING — A day after denying that any of its citizens had been involved, China confirmed Tuesday that Chinese technicians were taken hostage during a militant attack on a Pakistani naval base.

A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Jiang Yu, said “technical staff of a certain enterprise” had been on the naval base in Karachi and were taken hostage in the 16-hour siege, which began late Sunday and left at least 10 Pakistani security officers dead.

Speaking at a regularly scheduled news briefing, Ms. Jiang said she had no report that any Chinese had been injured. She did not say how many had been taken hostage.

The presence of Chinese technical staff members at the naval base, in Karachi, is another sign of China’s growing involvement in Pakistan. Last week, Pakistan’s defense minister, Ahmad Mukhtar, said that China would take over management of the port of Gwadar, a Pakistani city, and that he would welcome having China build a naval port there.

Mr. Mukhtar made the statement after visiting Beijing with the Pakistani prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani. Pakistani officials said Beijing had agreed to speed up delivery of jointly developed fighters.

China has been walking a careful line with Pakistan. It does not want to antagonize India, but it is eager to present itself to Pakistan as a more reliable and understanding ally than the United States, which in recent years has been stepping up criticism of Pakistan for harboring Islamist militants.

On Tuesday, for example, the government-run Xinhua news agency issued an analysis of the attack on the Karachi base. The article largely blamed the United States for the attack, saying Pakistan was paying the price for the recent American raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

It's not the fault of Pakistani citizens. However, your government and military need some major reforms. Since 2001, Pakistan has been thrown into a chaotic state while the authorities seem to be unable to cope with it. It's not assuring to allies and sure as hell not assuring to the Pakistan public. Like I said, my frustration wasn't directed at the average Pakistani.

It is not the fault of our Pakistanis brothers that the base was attacked and many valiant soldiers lost their lives. We must solve the problem by its root by hunting down the men responsible for this tragedy.

To be honest, I think these are both a simple gloss over a complicated problem .

Pakistani military deployed armed forces, including special forces, including naval counterattack. After 16 hours in the continued fighting, four militants carrying explosives detonated, and another 4 were captured alive; all hostage-taking are released. Palestinians, however, at least in this fight government forces lost 13 soldiers, and another 14 were injured.

The Chinese officers were robbed on the news, Pakistan and Chinese officials have denied.

Revenge of the most violent

BBC News - Pakistan: Militants attack Karachi naval air base

As much as I like Pakistan, this is embarassing and unacceptable. Militants were able to run into a heavily guarded military base and cause havoc; it is a clear sign of incompetence. Even worse, they were able to take Chinese advisors hostage. Pakistani military's recent performances have been abysmal. All the assistance in the world won't help them if they don't shape up.

Your statement is so serious the attack was accidental, it can be said to be well planned, not Pakistan brother's fault, we should understand them, talk to rescue workers in China, Pakistan brother died more than 10 individuals, their lives do not Expensive? Way to go step by step, to Pakistan, you can also see the brothers in order to protect Chinese workers in Pakistan the enormous effort, nothing you have a good look at the news, not nonsense

I cant understand one thing..... Why would they keep the hostages alive when they in the last blew themselfs up...... ??? It would have taken few bullets to kill the hostages and would have put Pakistan in more embarrassment....


The Chinese were there in the base but were successfully evaded before any terrorist could do any harm to them.
 
.
China should help Pakistan bolster its security agencies. Impart training, equipment, security policies, improved police/military infrastructure, etc... Surely Pakistan can benefit greatly in this domain from Chinese input. This will go a long way in helping stabilize Pakistan, which will be good for Chinese interests inside Pakistan.

They might have been hostages and escaped in ensuing confusion.
