Suspected Pakistani terrorists on Saturday attacked an Air Force Base here in Punjab, triggering an encounter in which four attackers and two IAF personnel were killed and 6 security men were injured.

At least four to five militants, believed to be from the Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist group, in army uniform launched the attack in the wee hours with an aim of destroying the air base, a top security official said.

A group of militants attacked Air Force base at 3:30am this morning, a defence spokesman said.

The attack was launched soon after a combing operation was carried out by the army yesterday in the area between Air base installation and Chakki river, police said.

The attackers were met with strong resistance from the security personnel who were already alert to the possibility of an attack, top sources said in Delhi, adding that the terrorists therefore could not enter the air base and managed to reach only to the langer area on the outside.

SSP R K Bakshi said that four suspected militants were killed in the battle.

Two jawans were also martyred and six sustained injuries.

Security establishment was already on alert and anticipating an attack after an SP of Punjab police was abducted by a group of armed men in army uniform on Thursday night. The attackers thrashed the officer before dumping him from vehicle.

After the incident, the combing operation was launched in the border areas of Pathankot and Gurdaspur district.

The attackers are confined to non-operational area, police said.

Helicopters, NSG commandos and SWAT teams have been engaged to kill the militants, police said.

The encounter started at 3.30 am, police said.

The strike is believed to be launched by Jaish-e-Mohammad, officials said, adding that the target was to destroy military installations

It is always 2 steps forward and 1 huge step backwards when it comes to Indo-Pak talks.

The terror groups are very much safe and no action is taken thus far from the Pak government. They care more about Indo-Pak cricket, but not the concerns of the people of India.

" Enemies of humanity carried out the attack in Pathankot: PM Modi "

 

 

"enemies of humanity" ?  perhaps the phrase "pakistani Terrorists"   has managed to elude poor modijeee :hmmm:

"enemies of humanity" is strangely reminiscent of that George Dubyaesque equivocation-  "Evildoers"

Whole world knows who is behind it. He need not directly specify the name. Shame on people who are promoting acts of terror against any human being!

That SP has to be a player in the Drug trade network. Delayed response is totally on Punjab police. No other way to explain 2 attacks in less than a year. JIhadis have contacts with the traffickers. Maybe, Centre will use this as an opportunity to finally clamp down on the drug problem.

BJP is going to lose Punjab, anyways. So may as well use this opportunity to show Akalis its place.

Enough of this.Its clear Modi started the dialogue under pressure from US and NATO countries.If Pakistan can continue its ways and keep up its terror activities even hit US interests why cant we just ask US and NATO to zip it on Pakistan.The only way to deal with Pakistan is to keep away from any dialogue process and reply to them in the language they understand.
