Now don't be retarded. There is no cover up. Navy released the news as and when it deemed feasible. They could have kept it hidden for a long time. It was a local incident and quick response by the security made sure the attackers are DEAD, no assets damaged and above all, they have already arrested the accomplices from other places.

BBC News - Pakistan navy repels militant attack at Karachi dockyard
Militants had targeted the Pakistani navy dockyard in Karachi, seen here in a 2006 picture
The Pakistan navy says it fought off an attack on its Karachi dockyard in which two militants and a sailor were killed.
The gun battle on Saturday night is said to have lasted about six hours. A Pakistani Taliban spokesman said the group carried out the attack.
A low-ranking navy personnel member and two militants were killed, while six soldiers and an officer were wounded, the navy says.
In 2011, militants carried out a major attack at a naval base in Karachi.
A navy spokesman said four militants had been captured alive after Saturday's attack. Based on information which they provided, security agencies have detained collaborators from other parts of the country.
"No material loss took place," he said. The spokesman did not give further details about the nature of the attack or possible target.
Pakistan Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told the BBC the group carried out the attack.
He told AFP news agency that they had "support from inside the naval force for this attack" and would continue targeting security forces.
The BBC's Shahzeb Jillani in Karachi says security experts have long feared the possible penetration of jihadi groups into Pakistan's armed forces, especially the navy.
In recent years, the Pakistani Taliban have carried out a number of high-profile assaults on military installations. Besides the 2011 attack on the Mehran naval base in Karachi, they also stormed and briefly occupied the military's headquarters in Rawalpindi in 2009.
Militant attacks inside Pakistan have fallen sharply since June when an army offensive was launched in North Waziristan, which had been a Taliban stronghold.

Taliban claim attack on Karachi navy dockyard
By AFP
Published 15 minutes ago

KARACHI: The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Tuesday claimed responsibilityfor the attack on a naval dockyard on the weekend, claiming they had inside help.
Taliban militants attacked a Karachi naval dockyard in a raid which left an officer and two insurgents dead, officials said Tuesday.
“We claim responsibility for the attack on the navy in Karachi,” spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told AFP.
“We had support from inside the naval force for this attack. This operation was successful because of this support. We will continue targeting security forces like this in future also,” he added.
The Navy said in a statement late on Monday night that “on Saturday a group of miscreants tried to penetrate Pakistan Navy Dockyard area defences at Karachi. Pakistan Navy security personnel responded valiantly and in the ensuing encounter killed two while apprehending four miscreants alive”.
After interrogating the suspects, the navy said in a statement that intelligence agencies had carried out raids to arrest suspected collaborators and accomplices and had recovered “a large quantity of arms and ammunition”.
The Taliban have already threatened a bloody response to a military offensive against insurgents in the North Waziristan tribal region on the Afghan border.
The military launched the offensive in mid-June shortly after a brazen attack on Karachi airport that left dozens dead and extinguished a largely fruitless peace process with the TTP.
The weekend raid was the latest in a series of high-profile attacks on key installations by the Taliban in recent years, including an 2011 assault on a naval base, also in Karachi, and on the military's headquarters in 2009.
The army says it has killed more than 900 militants and lost 82 soldiers since the start of the operation.

WOW how did it go unnoticed. Just bcz there is a protest happening in islamabad doesnt mean the media should not report anything else happening in pakistan.
Well done on our naval forces in killing and capturing those scum bags. Need to torture them first and then start asking the questions. Truly shocking that they tried to attack our frigates. They underestimated our forces after mehran base. They didnt realize that we have learned and we will not let it happen again.
Those naval soldiers who helped the terrorists also need to be captured and questioned before sending them to the after life. thats twice an attack on our navy has been done by using insiders. This network must be weeded out and shot .

Military tribunal with no right to appeal is the only option for them.
