Initial and unverified reports coming in that TTP have claimed responsibility for downing the helicopter. If true than this is a security failure of enormous magnitude.

I think TTP is claiming this only for propaganda purposes, to their advantage....... This isnt possible

 

[lightoftruth]

Really? That is a big news if true.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan claimed responsibility for shooting down the helicopter in Gilgit.

TTP spokesperson Muhammad Khorasani claimed a special task force had prepared a plan to target Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, however, the premier escaped the attempt as he was in a different helicopter.

In a statement, Khorasani said “TTP will soon show the Shoulder Launch Missile (SAM SYSTEM) used in the attack”

To attend some ceremony in Gilgit I guess, PM was also on his way to Gilgit.

I'm not questioning the need for them to travel just the logic in putting so many VVIPs on one flight, ti was inviting disaster and I'm sadly we've seen the consequences. I'm certain the PA will be changing their SOPs after this.

If it is shot down by SAM than everyone should have been killed .....

It is a crash landing
