Karachi (AFP) – Heavily armed militants attacked Pakistan’s busiest airport in the southern city of Karachi Sunday night, forcing the suspension of all flights, officials said.
Senior police official Rao Muhammad Anwar said the militants were armed with automatic weapons and grenades and were exchanging gunfire with security personnel.
“Exchange of fire is continuing. We don’t know the exact number of the attackers but suspect four to six terrorists have attacked the airport,†he said.
Abid Qaimkhani, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority, confirmed the attack, adding all flights had been suspended.
Television footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the runway where planes were parked.
There has so far been no claim of responsibility, but Pakistan has been battling a homegrown Islamist insurgency for more than a decade that has claimed thousands of lives.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s government began negotiations with the umbrella Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) — the main Islamist militant group fighting the state — in February, with a ceasefire beginning March 1 but breaking down a month later.

Why would they need to know how to fly? Plenty of pilots at an airport.

True, I guess. I worked all day. Wasn't thinking about hostages or anything. :banghead:
Does anybody think we're going to have to suffer another 9/11 because of very recent affairs? How long do you think it will be until it happens?

Yes, and I think that it is already in the early stages of execution. Just a feeling, and I hope I'm wrong.

OK so a group of muslims in a muslim country are upset at the muslim govt. So these muslims resort to killing random muslims and somehow that makes them holy warriors?
I think its more dangerous to be a muslim than to be an infidel.

Not quite. They were trying to hijack an airliner, and they wanted to avenge a leader that Obama killed in a drone strike.

Nope. I think that plane is still fully intact somewhere.

I was going to say that Obama has done a fair job of killing Muslims with drones, but then I reconsidered since that falls under the category of "Muslims killing Muslims". :-)
