Cricket_Hacker Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 The al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has claimed that its primary motive in the September Karachi dockyard attack, which failed after gunfights with the Pakistan Naval forces, was destroying Indian warships with a Pakistani frigate - PNS Aslat. The frigate was equipped with advanced weapon systems, including anti-submarine torpedoes, four guided missiles with a range of up to 120 km, surface-to-air missiles and 72 mm anti-aircraft guns. “This was not an attack on the naval dockyard... It was a takeover of ships of the Pakistani naval fleet. And the targets were the American and the Indian Navies,†said a release by As-Sahab Subcontinent, purportedly the AQIS’ media wing. The release said the elaborate plan involved two simultaneous attacks by two groups. The first group was to take over the Pakistani frigate PNS Zulfiqar and use it to target and destroy the American oil tanker USS Supply. The second group’s plan was to take over PNS Aslat that was docked near the Karachi shores and “steer it towards Indian waters in order to attack Indian warships with anti-ship missiles.†Issuing a call for the Mujahideen to make seas one of their priority areas, the release warned: “This operation gives a clear message to India that Ghazwa-e-Hind has only just begun. We shall never forget your oppression of our brothers in Kashmir, Gujarat, and Assam.†A successful attack would have immediately drawn a parallel to the October 2000 al Qaeda attack on US destroyer USS Cole in Aden, in which 17 US sailors died. While the attack has set off warning bells about the extent of penetration by terror elements into Pakistan’s armed forces, the release claimed that the operation was led by Oweis Jakhrani (former second lieutenant in the Pakistan navy) and Zeeshan Rafeeq (second lieutenant).
Kalia_Test Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Will Pak play the "See..we need you to make us stronger so that we can defend these people who are against you ( India and US)" card again?
velu Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 padosis would have given those warships to them if they had given their plans to them
sticky wicket Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 hmmm I doubt this would even happened if they took over the frigate. Takes years of training and a highly skilled crew to operate a modern frigate, seriously doubt a bunch of rag tag al qaeda fighters would know their port side from starboard side, let alone operated a underwater sonar system Looks more like some lame scare mongering reporting from indian media

sticky wicket Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 But what if padosi army personnel are involved like in 26/11. Then Pakistan, India and US and world in general is f**ked. Al Qaeda are no different to ISIS, and if they have infiltrated Pakistan army, then how long before one of these loonies gets access to pak's nuclear bombs:fear: Because they will have no qualms to use them Reminds of that English movie Sum of all Fears based on tom Clancy novel
