Firing on PIA Jet in Peshawar, Killing 1 Woman on Board

. .
2 Injured

Source:It could be due to occasional firing and not a terrorist attack,possible firing during wedding.

Though not confirmed
 
. . . . . . . .
The injured women died on the way to hospital/In hospital

Now that is confusing. What would a PIA Jet be doing at a Wedding?

Peshawar airport location in settled area's and despite security threats they don't even have constructed wall

Possible, innit? As it cuts down the altitude while preparing to land, it can indeed be within range of rifle fire.

What is the range of AK-47s?
For that kind of firing to happen, the Gunner(s) should be sitting at the Runway Threshold and within the Airfield Perimeter. Post the Jinnah International attack; will that be allowed to happen?

So, you mean to say that a Jinnah Intl. type of attack can take place there also?

Range of an Ak 47 is reportedly 350 meters, and while landing, large planes do traverse 2-3 kms at a mere 100 mtrs.....maybe a wedding did take lace in the vicinity of the airport. But highly unlikely that it wasn't intentional.
