I don't know about "swift", but a great response indeed as it took so many terrorists out alive so they can be interrogated. It took almost 20 hours due to terrorists being in different teams, hiding and also to avoid damage to multiple PN assets in close proximity. But well contained and controlled for sure.

The terrorists planned to capture ships and weapon systems and use them against a neighboring country. Two of the killed terrorists were mislead naval officers while those arrested also belong to the navy. The attack is being interpreted as a small rebellion within the navy by personnel inspired from AQ.

QUETTA: Three suspects of the Navy Dockyard attack in Karachi were arrested here on Thursday. The three suspects had reached Quetta in a private car from Karachi.

According to reports, the suspects were trying to flee to Afghanistan when they were arrested and are believed to be associated with the Navy. Sources add that one of the suspects was deployed on duty at the Naval Dockyard.
There are reports that raids have also been conducted in connection with the attack in Swabi, interior Sindh and Karachi.
On Wednesday, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif revealed there was a strong possibility that Taliban militant’s who attacked the Naval Dockyard on September 6 had inside help.

In his address to Parliament, Mr Asif said three attackers were killed during the attack while seven others were arrested whereas one Naval officer also embraced martyrdom guarding the Naval Dockyard.

Giving details of September 6 attack, Khawaja Asif said terrorists breached security of the dockyard where they were engaged by Naval security who successfully made the terrorist attempt a failure.
The Defence Minister said one former naval officer who was expelled from the Navy in 2013 is also found involved in this incident. “This incident is a blowback of continued operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan,” he added.
Khawaja Asif said five 9mm pistols, three intercoms, four suicide jackets, two detonators, handcuffs and other ammunition was recovered. He said the conspiracy is not possible without any internal support, however investigations are in progress.

This means Taliban has successfully infiltrated the Pakistani military. This is very tricky. How long before one of nuclear missile silo comes under the command and control of one of rogue Military man. And launches a strike on US assets in Middle East, or on Israel

The level of scrutiny for employees related to nuclear is very very strict so it is not possible. Plus command and control of pakistani nukes is much different from west.

QUETTA: Security forces arrested three suspects involved in an attack at Karachi naval dockyard from the Lak Pass area of Quetta the other day, a security official said.

A security official, who requested anonymity, told Dawn.com that acting on intelligence reports, security forces conducted raids in the outskirts of Quetta and picked up three suspects.

"The suspects are Navy officials," he added, giving no details about their ranks.


They were shifted to Karachi on a plane from Quetta for further interrogation.

The suspects were trying to escape to Afghanistan, when they were intercepted by security forces.

He said some suspects were also apprehended by security forces from Ormara and Karachi after the initial interrogation.


The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have already claimed responsibility for the attack on the naval dockyard, claiming they had inside help.

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has on record said “some of the navy staff of commissioned ranks and some outsiders” were involved in the terrorist strike.


Militants attacked the naval dockyard in a raid which left an officer and two insurgents dead.

The Taliban have already threatened a bloody response to a military offensive against insurgents in North Waziristan 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.
