ISLAMABAD: Eight of the 14 terrorists who mounted Friday’s brazen assault on the Badhaber air force camp are believed to be foreign nationals as per initial investigations.

“According to the record and evidence collected by investigators so far, eight attackers did not appear to be Pakistani,” a spokesperson for the interior ministry said in an official statement.

“It could take some time to determine their exact identity,” the spokesperson added. It was learnt on the day of attack that some of militants looked foreign but officials deliberately did not reveal due to sensitivity of the matter, the spokesperson further said.

On Sunday, the identities of five attackers were determined by the country’s top registration body – the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) – after fingerprints of the assailants killed in Friday’s brazen assault were sent for verification. The five terrorists were traced to Khyber Agency and Swat.

NADRA with coordination of other agencies is determining identity of all attackers, the official added.


Further, the official said Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar has ordered an inquiry into leakage of data pertaining to terrorists involved in the attack. “The interior minister fears the leakage of data could hurt ongoing investigation into the attack,” he added.

Proves an afghan angle. We should go in and neutralize these terrorists. A stronger foreign policy that is slightly aggressive will only benefit Pakistan. We should take severe action against the traitorous taliban.

A blanket bombing campaign of suspected millitant hide outs in Afghanistan on every terrorist attack should set the record straight with Afghan government....and will send a serious message..

We would need proper intelligence for that so we do not bomb civilians. But my question is if we couldn't get intelligence on ttp members even within Pakistan how we will get it on those in Afghanistan. That being said I would like Pakistan to carry a powerful raid on TTP chief Fazlullah and other top commanders in Afghanistan if actionable intel is collected.

It means our intelligence apparatus is inadequate and needs improvement..

Definitely, its a trade off they made for being able to hold their position for longer. Won't have to take the eye off the action for even a second.

His postmortem examination may also reveal an enema to cleanse out his bowels. Some even add IV lines and bags.

I don't think they might have gone with an enema, they had additional food with them to last out several days which would have made an enema unnecessary.

The precise preparations might be different, but the point is that these desperadoes were ready for a long siege and the fact that they were taken out quickly is a huge relief. The IVs are sometimes used for steady low rate infusions of amphetamines and other drug cocktails.
