At least someone in Pakistan is taking some responsibility. Pakistani government should learn from Taliban.

Yes they did , 18 precious lives were lost , mayhem and chaos ensued for whole 6 hours , the airport had to be crossed and the image of the country dented once again and all despite we had intelligence of terrorists planning attack on sensitive installations which was something beyond the intellectual capability of entire Sindh Govt and its apparatus with the CM insisting that the warning didn't mention " airport " .
Taliban claim deadly attack on Karachi airport
The Pakistani Taliban have said they were behind an attack at the country's largest airport that killed at least 28 people, including 10 militants.
The raid began late on Sunday at a terminal used for cargo and VIP flights at Karachi international airport.
Following reports of fresh violence early on Monday, airport officials said the siege was now over and flights were set to resume in the afternoon.
Karachi has been a target for many attacks by the Taliban.
A spokesman for the group, Shahidullah Shahid, said Monday's assault was "a message to the Pakistan government that we are still alive to react over the killings of innocent people in bomb attacks on their villages".
The dead terminal staff were said to be mostly security guards from the Airport Security Force (ASF) but also airline workers. At least 14 people were wounded.
Analysts say the attack further undermines Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's attempt at initiating peace talks with the Taliban.
The negotiations have made little headway since February. Critics have argued that they could allow the militants to regroup and gain strength.
