Pakistan Army, Navy and Rangers successfully eliminated all terrorists who had kept hostage, the Pakistan Navy Aviation Base for almost fourteen hours. In this assault at least 10 military personnel embraced Shahadat and 14 were wounded. Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that 17 foreigners, 11 of them Chinese maintenance workers, were safely rescued from the base and shifted to the secure places. The attackers probably entered the base after cutting the wire and jumping over the wall running along a water channel. In this raid two upgraded P-3C Orion surveillance aircrafts parked at the base have been either damaged or destroyed.
Earlier too on August 10, 1999 an Orion aircraft of same version had been hit by India near Badin. It is mentionable here that the Orion surveillance aircrafts have the capabilities of carrying out deep sea reconnaissance, surveillance in addition to locating and hitting submarines.
There are media reports that, the aircrafts were probably upgraded against the wishes of manufacturer. We can also not ignore here the news regarding killing of Mullah Omer being aired with reference to Afghan Intelligence Agency when the operation clean up of the base was under its way. The purpose of releasing of this news was to create security hype when Pakistan is really in critical situation.
Bomb Blast on Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway Bridge near Rashakai Interchange Nowshera was another terrorists’ action carried out by anti Pakistan elements on same day. All this also needs to be seen in the backdrop of report regarding handing over of Gwadar Port for operational purpose to China and visit of president Zardari to Russia. Add to this the threatening statements by Obama and security forces differences with American counterpart agencies over killing of OBL and last but not least Obama’s statement of targeting Pakistan again are enough evidences in reaching the actual objectives, and the greater game plan being unfolded by Americans in thorough connivance with Indian agencies on Pakistan’ soil.
Without going into much details further lets examine the selection of target i.e. Parked Orion Surveillance Aircrafts (strategic assets), timing of raid i.e. just after couple of days of OBL killing and above narrated facts clearly narrowing down the hidden hands and reveal the goals of the plan. In short, the oblivious objectives set of this plan could be; to isolate Pakistan globally, hitting its maritime defensive and strategic capability, lowering of national morale, providing a chance to local traitors to criticize security forces, causing instability, targeting economic capital, posing Pakistan as the world most insecure country and ultimately paving the ground for landing their unholy forces for capturing Pakistan’ nuclear assets, stopping China’s and Russian economical activities in Arabian Sea, paving way for keeping some type of US task force of brigade size for meeting US-Indian in Indian Oceans, and providing chance to India act as regional watchdog.
