Four dead in PNS Mehran attack: news agency

KARACHI: Four people were killed in an armed attack Sunday by terrorists on PNS Mehran, a heavily guarded base of Pakistan Navy, located along Sharea Faisal, according to a foreign news agency.

TV images showed flames rising in the air from PNS Mehran where terrorists blew up a US made P-3C Orion plane of Pakistan Navy.

Five injured in the incident were shifted to a local hospital.

Additional personnel of security forces were also seen moving inside PNS Mehran.

Electricity of the entire area has also been shut down.

Earlier, four blasts were reported from the area near PAF base Faisal.

Ambulances and fire tenders were seen rushing toward the base following the powerful blasts that were heard across a wide radius.

Gunshots fired from sophisticated weapons were also heard following the blasts.

It is pertinent to mention here that in the previous weeks three buses of Pakistan Navy had been attacked by terrorists in the metropolitan city of Karachi.

it is live on ndtv interior minister says its a terror attack
reports: 12 terrorists inside the military base

KARACHI: Militants attacked a naval aviation base in the Pakistani city of Karachi on Sunday, killing at least four people, security officials said.

Intelligence officials said between 15 and 20 attackers were inside the Mehran base and had attacked three hangars housing aircraft.

Witnesses said they heard sounds of gunshots and could see smoke rising from the buildings.

"We have four dead and five wounded but the number could rise," a security official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters.

Senior police official Tahir Naveed said attackers were fighting with base personnel.

TV footage showed fire and a cloud of smoke. Dunya TV said a four-engine naval aircraft was on fire. Al Qaida-linked Taliban militants, who have vowed to avenge the killing of Osama bin Laden by US special forces, have carried out several attacks since his death on May 2.

On April 28, suspected militants detonated a roadside bomb in the Pakistani city of Karachi, killing four members of the navy, the third attack on the navy in a week.

The attack came two days after two bombs hit buses carrying navy personnel, killing four people and wounding 56. Taliban insurgents took responsibility for the twin attacks.

happy that it is over for victims, happier that we have two less PN planes to worry about. about 50 million USD gone in flames with both the planes, P3c coasted about 36 million USD.
