Contradictions emerge in accounts of naval base raid

Contradictions emerge in accounts of naval base raid

Agencies (4 hours ago) Today

KARACHI: A police account released Tuesday on the brazen, 18-hour Taliban assault on a Pakistani naval base says there were twice as many attackers as the number claimed by the government and navy, adding to the questions surrounding the deadly incident.
The attack Sunday in Karachi humiliated Pakistans powerful military establishment and raised concerns about extremist infiltration of security services as well as the safety of the countrys nuclear warheads. The Pakistani Taliban said they staged the raid to avenge the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden.
The militants destroyed two US-supplied surveillance aircraft and killed 10 people on the base.
On Monday, after commandos had retaken control of Naval Station Mehran, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said up to six assailants were involved, four of whom were killed and two of whom apparently fled. Although they had earlier estimated the number of militants at between 10 and 15, naval officials also revised their estimate to six attackers.
But police said Tuesday in the first information report that between 10 to 12 attackers were involved. Local police chief Shahrukh Khan said the report was written after consultation with a navy officer. Such a report is a formal part of opening an investigation into the attack.
A navy spokesman said he was looking into the discrepancy.
Many analysts were surprised that just six attackers could occupy part of the base for such a long time against a force of hundreds of commandos and navy marines. Pakistan security agencies are known to sometimes not give full accounts of terrorism incidents, and often hold suspects for months without informing the public.
The fact that the attackers managed to infiltrate so deep into the high-security base led to speculation they may have had inside information or assistance.

ISLAMABAD: Identification records of the dead terrorists involved in the attack on PNS Mehran base in Karachi could not be found, DawnNews reported on Tuesday.
SP Investigation Niaz Ahmed Khoso said that the police had earlier sent the terrorists fingerprints to NADRA, however NADRA officials said that they could not find any record of the fingerprints in their databases.
Regarding identification through DNA testing, Khoso said that DNA samples had already been dispatched to Islamabad. However, NADRA databases do not have the capability of identification through DNA samples, footprints or eye-scans.
Khoso further added that judging from their physical appearances, the attackers did not seem to be locals.

FIR lodged: Discrepancies emerge between police report and navy statements

PNS-Merhan-Blast021-175140-640x480.jpg


KARACHI: Karachi Police have registered a criminal case against the unidentified terrorists that attacked PNS Mehran late Sunday night. However, contrary to earlier statements by the PN chief, the FIR puts the number of terrorists between 10 and12.
Navy chief Admiral Nauman Bashir had earlier claimed in his press conference that all terrorists had been killed.
Interior Minister Rehman Malik too had maintained that four of the terrorists had been killed while two had managed to escape. This effectively puts the number of attackers to be no more than six.
The FIR has been registered at the Shahrah-e-Faisal police station.
The FIR contains the statement of Lt Irfan claiming between 10 to 12 terrorists had scaled the eastern wall to infiltrate the base.
The FIR also states that 10 security personnel and four terrorists were killed in the attack. While the FIR makes no mention of what happened to the other accused listed in the FIR.
The FIR states four Kalashnikovs, ten grenades, two suicide jackets, one rocket launcher and a lot of ammunition was seized.
The bodies of the terrorists have been sent to Jinnah Hospital where an autopsy has been conducted. The report will be issued in a few days.

PNS Mehran attack: Police kept out

KARACHI: As soon as news of an attack at the naval base spread, a posse of civilian law-enforcement agencies, including the police, Crime Investigation Department, Special Investigation Unit, Special Protection Group, Anti-Extremism Cell, Counter-Terrorism Unit, reached the spot. But the navy personnel did not let them in.
“This is not good,“ fumed Anti-Extremism Cell chief SSP Chaudhry Aslam Khan. “What can we do now? They are not providing us access.
No need to stay here. We are going back.“
Angry officers were turned away from the gates of the PAF Museum, PNS Mehran and PAF Faisal through which army trucks whizzed past.
Many officers just hung back, too cagey to risk being embarrassed by rejection.
“Leave it, yaar,“ said a CID official. “Yahan par kharey ho kar apni beizzati karwaien kya?“ He grabbed Aslam’s arm and steered him away too.
Later, some police officials also entered but according to reports all of them had to stay at the guardroom.
The vehicles of intelligence officials went through as did about three ambulances and fire engines. It seemed as if the entire city’s ambulances had reached the spot but all of them were turned away.
Even Karachi police’s Special Investigation Unit SSP Raja Umer Khattab, in his silver SUV, was denied entry. However, a convoy of the Ranger’s wing commander was immediately let in.
Sindh Police Crime Investigation Department’s senior officials SSP Omer Shahid and SSP Chaudhry Aslam in their black SUV managed to reach just the parking lot of the museum, but returned when the Navy Marines began engaging the militants in a fierce gun battle. One or two journalists too sneaked in with the convoy of some of these police officers, but they, too, returned, in one case with bruises on their arms, minutes later. The convoys of Pakistan Army and Rangers, however, continued pouring into the base unhindered till early morning.

China denies citizens held hostage in PNS Mehran attack

China denies citizens held hostage in PNS Mehran attack

Reuters (5 hours ago) Today

Taliban gunmen assaulted the naval base in Karachi on Sunday, blowing up two aircraft and besieging a building in what the group said was an attack to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda killed by US special forces. File Photo


BEIJING: Chinas Foreign Ministry on Wednesday denied that any of the countrys citizens was held hostage in an attack by Taliban militants on a Pakistani naval base, although it said Chinese technicians were moved to safety because of the assault.
The hostage issue is the latest episode of uncertainty in a Sino-Pakistani relationship that is close, sometimes secretive, and also prey to confusion.
Beijings denial followed news reports that it had confirmed Chinese nationals were held by militants in the weekend siege.
Taliban gunmen assaulted the naval base in Karachi on Sunday, blowing up two aircraft and besieging a building in what the group said was an attack to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda killed by US special forces.
Pakistani news reports at the time said Chinese nationals were taken hostage by the militants.
The spokeswoman has already said, Its my understanding that no Chinese people were taken hostage, a staff member from the Foreign Ministry spokespersons office said by telephone, citing what he said was a comment by the spokeswoman Jiang Yu.
On Tuesday, spokeswoman Jiang told a news conference that Chinese companies technical personnel were moved to safety because of the attack. But she did not say whether those personnel were held hostage or were even on the navy base.
A transcript of the news conference on the ministrys website (www.mfa.gov.cn), however, later inserted her direct denial that hostages were held.
On Monday, the ministry had also said no Chinese nationals were taken hostage in the incident. The Pakistani government has said the same.
China and Pakistan call each other all-weather friends and their ties have been underpinned by longstanding wariness of their common neighbour, India, and a desire to hedge against US influence.
China has been Pakistans biggest supplier of conventional arms and Chinese engineers and technicians have helped build infrastructure in Pakistan, including nuclear power plants.
But there are limits to how far Beijing is willing to back Islamabad and risk a rift with Pakistans long-time foe, India, and the United States, which remains a key regional presence.
Beijing has voiced concern about Chinese nationals working in Pakistan, especially after several workers were killed in militant attacks in past years.
On Tuesday, China said it had not even heard of Pakistans proposal for Beijing to help it build a naval port, pouring cold water on an earlier announcement by Pakistani Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar.
