KARACHI: Pakistan Naval Shipping (PNS) Mehran Base, a heavily guarded facility of Pakistan Navy located along Shahrah-e-Faisal, has come under a terrorist attack, Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Sunday.
He said terrorists have launched an armed attack on PNS Mehran while the security forces and army personnel are retaliating terrorists, he said.
The minister said that the attack has been countered to a large extent and the security forces have placed strict cordon around the area.
A big fire is still raging at the site, which the firefighters are trying to douse.
Following the attack, PM Yousuf Raza Gilani phoned Interior Minister and inquired about the situation.
Geo News correspondent said that reportedly 10 terrorists have attacked on PNS Mehran with hand grenades while the gunshots are still being heard from inside.

sad incident.
Did anyone notice the navy installation has been attacked quite a bit lately. There were a couple of attacks on Navy buses and now this.
It appears to me the Navy is being given or is planning to start some project/operation and terrorists obviously dont like it.

The Yankee plan is unfolding full fledge. The army has been downgraded in the eyes of the public, fighting on our western borders and the evergreen threat hanging over the head from the east. It's very worrying and we should be quite careful to attack our army (in general). I know it's double edged sword, but still I urge everyone to to be careful.

not much sure but some news channels were reporting that the actual target was american ships .if so then the situation could be more terrible and the american will have a solid (so called) reason to take the matters in their own hand as they were already looking for some excuses:(

How many dollars did we collect during that Fasad?
Why no one objected that war?

How much Dollars did Jamat Islami collect to suppy young Jihadis for Afghan Fasad?
How much money did our Generals collect to prolong that Fasad of the 80's which is still continuing today?

Why no one objected that war?
Because Russian target was warm waters which meant they were headed to Pakistan. It was in Pakistans interest to push the russians back.
This is terrible news. Not just the attack but that P-C3 Orion aircrafts, a couple of them, have been completely destroyed. This is million of dollars going up in flames. I guess this is a 50 million dollar kee duzz right their!
Pasha is being pushed to the wall. They want him to resign. First Abbotabad, now this.
This is terrible and this is Blackwater. Blackwater is HQ'd in Karachi. The fight is being taken to isolate the armed forces.
Action is required. Swift action. Call for mid-terms. Get in people who are not controlled by strings and then get out of this war.
What incentive does TTP have to attack PN? They should have rather gone to Malir Cantt. This is not TTP. This is XE.
No more waiting.

PTT usually attack Political, Diplomatic and Military spots all around Pakistan and in Karachi US Consulate had been their Primary target.....Since almost all Pakistani Bases have Foreigners working especially Chinese and Americans so that is why their role is Highly suspected.....

In my view it is an act of madness from brainwashed militants who have now attacked Naval base to take revenge of world's biggest terrorist Osama Bin Ladin.
Our security is so weak and laid back that anyone can attack any building anywhere in Pakistan.More news is on BBC:

Rehman Malik should resigned, as well as some one from our Intelligence forces should take responsibility.... how come 10-15 guys can attack high security areas.
its not first time attacks on GHQ, Navy base or such high sensitive areas are under attack for long but no one in government taking responsibility of this failuresPosted 2 years ago on 22 May 2011 23:30 # -

Question is that why such a sensitive installation is doing within city limits at all?
If someone remembers in 1997 , when NS just started his second term , a PAF plane having taken off from masroor , bombamded Liaqtabad with its fule tanks on the pretext that it has failure of supply and it had to unload fuel , at that time this question was also raised and most credible airforce x-chiefs like asghar khan and nur khan both said that such installations should be moved out of city.
But since our BAHDUR FAUJ is in love with precious urban land, no such thing can materialize.
Just imagine , had this attackers targeted a ammuniation depot like Ojri camp , what would have been the result. On one side of this is Shah Faisal Colony , on the other side is karsaz , KDA-1 , M A Jinnah , PECHS ? Just imagine .

.. nation has to decide if it still wants to harbour Blackwater/ XE.
It has nothing to do with Bin Laden.

Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar said that China has agreed to take control of operations at the Gwadar Port.

@ beenai
wake upppppp! The abbotabad operation was enough to show that if US wanted the nuclear assets they can do so with out our Army even knowing of it.
The fact is that this army is too busy running shadi halls and making plots all the while awarding themselves medals and they have no clue how to fight.

Very true.Beenai
We curse politicains and political process for every misdeed our "BAHDUR FAUJ" has done but unfortunately people like u have an issue when finger is rightly pointed to "MUQADAS GAAEY"May i know that who brought & trained these people in 80's and 90's ? Was it u , me or any civilian ?
Who is fond of strategic depth concept ? u , me or some MUQADAS GAEEY ?
If today my father can't pray in the mosque because our mosques have become unsafe , my sister/mother can't go to market because our markets are unsafe , my children can't go to a playground because our playgrounds are unsafe , who is responsible ?
Only those are responsible who have been harbouring , training and minting $$$ from these . And it was no one else but our "BAHDUR FAUJ" , starting from Gen.Zia / akhtar abdul rehman to mushraf / kiyani / pasha.

Beenai,
We need to fix our house first. Call the culprit a culprit without any prejudice , do an accountablity of misdeeds and give the rightful people their right.
Till the time masses of this country are treated as "BLOODY CIVLIANS" and their elected representatives are kept away (On gunpoint) from policy making , this cohaos will continue.
We need to trust our masses and their collective oponion.
In this hour of crisis , which has been caused by "BRAVE ARMY" u r asking to strengthen the culprits , we need to strengthen the masses, the nation not someone who is solely responsible for this choas.

Our army is no doubt brave and competent. The problems are not with the soldiers up to the level of colonels. The problems are with the soldiers promoted above colonel levels on the basis of nepotism or lobbying.

Hussain Farooqui Bahi,
We have seen their bravery against the civilains mulitple times whether it was lush green Bengal or deserts of sind & balochistan or urban areas of Khi/hyderabad.
But , unfortunely , we have also seen the surrender of 90000 which was biggest ever (at that time ) since 2nd world war.
So , yeh bahduri kii dastaanian suntey suntey hamarey baal safeed ho gaaey haain. leave them aside.
