-ongoing (as of right now)
-attack started about 12 hours ago early in the morning (Indian standard time)
-4-6 (some speculations of more) terrorists involved
-2/3 Indian security officials killed
- no aircraft damaged
-no breach to the interior of the base took place, they were kept around the periphery
-remaining terrorist(s) contained
- render safe drills are going on in the area
Speculation (but not confirmed):
-terrorists infiltrated into India along the Punjab stretch of the indo-pak border 2-3 days ago
-terrorists yesterday stole an official vehicle of a police officer and perhaps used it to some extent in the preparation of this attack
- calls were intercepted between these guys and handlers in Pakistan yesterday which triggered a nationwide alert (before the theft of the vehicle was being treated as criminal, not terrorist related).
- calls were also said to mention destroying IAF aircraft.
- for this purpose large amounts of RDX were with the terrorists
-An NSG team flew in to Punjab late last night (IST) with the explicit intent of hunting these guys down once it became clear they were terrorists.
- Said NSG team are now leading the fight against them around the base.
Speculations more
Add to that fingers pointed to Jaish JeM
Jaish and LeT has close ties for some time
LeT is a known vehicle of choice for H Saeed
M Azhar may also be back from hiatus post his release during IC 814 hijack
