The banned outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility of the attack carried out at Kamra Airbase early Thursday morning.
“We are proud of this operation. Our leadership had decided to attack Kamra base a long time ago,” Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan said by telephone from an undisclosed location.
During the early hours of Thursday, heavily armed militants stormed the PAF Minhas airbase sparking an intense gun battle lasting almost five hours.
The militants were said to be armed with automatic weapons, grenades and suicide vests.
Has Mr Penneta shared satellite intel with the authorities in Pakistan on this. If CIA new where the militants and leaders of Jihad-is lived in North Waziristan and boasts that CIA has now established a network of ground manned intelligence to guide them to do precision drone strikes how could this not be predicted.
Operations of this kind require planning and need both the money and the thinking. There is someone who provides money and another logistics. This is overseen by thinking and a scheming mind. It requires surveillance the more is less in operations like this. It was a carefully co-ordinated assault which resulted because all aforementioned ingredients fell in place.
US departments must do more to share intelligence with relevant government (both civil and military) departments of Pakistan. It is just doing minimum.
At the same time operation in North Waziristan must be delayed until we have a new political government in place. The people in power are of the league 'the enemy within' and by acting foolishly jeopardise the gains.
The people currently in power have little regard for the sacrifices of both the civilians and army personnel. They have shown little compassion to the unfortunate victims of Gyari and one just cannot expect much from them.
They have passed their sell by date and need to be replaced. The replacement may not be very good but the system will discipline them.
it is considered to be.

may ALLAH protect the country from these terrorists.
Right after twenty four hours of a statement from high up of American establishment wherein it was feared Pak nuke may fall into terror hands; TTP has targeted to one of the most sensitive defense installation of the country' cementing this belief of Pakistanies further that TTP is a shadow terror group funded, trained and being provided with lethal weaponries by RAW via Afghanistan with CIA giving plans how when and what to assault?
The two agencies are in collaboration and are working day in day out together in New Dehli against Pak Forces. Both came closer to gather and increased cooperation between them after Osama was killed. Objective of this alliance between the two notorious agencies is to embarrass Pak Armed forces. Bring its leadership under pressure and make Pakistan's nuke's safety questionable.
To launch such attacks, this time around, RAW, having decades of experience for spreading terror into Pakistan, has chosen Punjab to base TTP mercenaries. The difficult terrains of KP mountains bordering Afghanistan where now watchful Pak Armed forces are hunting them down; have purposefully been left aside.
In Punjab there is a political Govt. of PML(N) whose leadership on one hand is politically so strong that none in establishment can think of raising question of launching military operation against terror networks; while on the other Nawaz Sharif has closer "friendlier" relations with Indians so there won't be a question raised either in the media or anywhere else of Indian involvement. The Americans are his old allies.
There is another perturbing aspect to this harrowing anti Pakistan plot. Key figures of Indian funded TTP and its sub groups in Punjab have developed relations with many core elements within the ranks of Punjab Govt.
Also fear of bloody back lash from terrorists is another thing that scare to the Tiger Chief Minister of Punjab from break down this terror network growing fast under his nose.
The result of all this is obvious: TTP is targeting to country's armed forces, spreading
blood shed in Balouchistan and also reaching down into Karachi. Pakistan suffers while Royal family of Pakistan is quiet looking from an arm's length with completely indifferently.

whosover it is. They planted the seed of terrorism with govt officers and resources. now facing the music. in pakistan human snakes roaming all over. even well guarded military establishments are not safe. six decades of misrule. will take few more decades . policy was wrong. so results are bad. you will have to live with it
hey,bloddy gesis lover cia and raw all doing this bloodshed in pakistan last ten year?
i see a condemn statement by the right wing nowhere, Y???????
Even a novice in the art of mass media would know that the real target of TTP militants was Saab 2000 Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircrafts. They were not even interested in the assembly line of JF Thunder aircraft being co-produced at Kamra. This attack is a rerun of a similar attack on Naval Air Base, Mehran where the target was P3C Orion aircraft used for Long Range Marine Patrol. The motive of the attack was to damage Pakistan’s sophisticated and expensive defense capabilities. TTP which claims to be fighting the occupation forces in Afghanistan are actually fighting to cripple Pakistan’s defense mechanism. And who should be behind these terrorists is not a million dollar question. Read more at: http://passivevoices.wordpress.com/2012/08/16/kam…
