KARACHI: Investigative authorities have found a walkie-talkie set from the eastern side of the runway at PNS Mehran air base. The set was allegedly used by the terrorists during the attack that took place at the PNS Mehran earlier this week, DawnNews reported on Thursday.
According to sources, during a recent search of the bushes surrounding the eastern end of the runway, the walkie-talkie set which is of a Russian make was found near the location from where the terrorists had entered the base. The walkie-talkie has been sent to the laboratories for forensic evidence.
Meanwhile, fresh samples of the attackers fingerprints have been dispatched to NADRA a second time for identification. The investigation officer has said that the NADRA database contains about 70 to 80 million fingerprint records, while the report might take up to three to four days.

Five terrorists were arrested Moment by moment development of Mehran Operation
KARACHI: Five terrorists were arrested during the operation against them at PNS Mehran Naval Aviation Base and due to very reason the case was registered against 12 persons. Apprehended terrorists were shifted to Islamabad after the completion of operation, where three of them are under treatment at a military hospital.
This was revealed by highly reliable sources to Online. The source said that when the terrorists entered PNS Mehran from the check post No.9 located between PAF Air Base and Naval Air Base, it was empty so they managed to enter the base.
Soon after their entrance, the terrorists had a clash with Rapid Response Force of Pak Navy, but the terrorist either killed the naval personnel or forced them to escape in first three minutes. The sources said that during the first 45 minutes, the terrorists destroyed P3C Orion aircrafts, whereas Naval Marine reached there within 50 minutes.
The sources said that within few minutes of attack, police and rangers reached there but the naval personnel did not allow them to go beyond the guardroom. After six hours of the attack, 1 Frontier Force also reached the base from Malir Cantt Karachi but their offer was also rejected by the navy.
After that the intelligence officials told the high command that situation has become out of control for the naval commandos then the Special Commandos of Pak Army Al-Zarar company reached Karachi through special plane from Islamabad and entered PNA Mehran at 6.10 am in the morning via PAF base however naval commandos held the charge of operation in their hands.
The sources said that at 11:30 am in the morning the Naval Commandos gave the signal of completing the operation and high-ups of Navy reached there to inspect the wreckage of ruined aircraft, but at that time the terrorists which were hiding in jungle behind the hanger opened firing due to which three people were killed and several injured.
The sources claimed that firing was carried out on the naval commandos form 17 different points which was continued till 3:30 at night, which showed that the number of terrorists were more than the statement of Federal Interior Minister and even written in the police report.
After 3:30 in the night, attack was again taken place from two points by the two terrorists who were hiding in the jungle behind the naval complex. At last they detonated themselves by explosive material.
When this scribe tried to contact spokesman of Pak Navy Sulman Ali , his cellular phone was off. When contacted to his office, they told for speaking to Sulman. They also told that his mobile is off due to the reason that he was busy in some meeting.

Re: Five terrorists were arrested Moment by moment development of Mehran Operation
Facilitator might have remained outside the base
* Officials say no attacker escaped from PNS Mehran after assault
By Masroor Afzal Pasha
KARACHI: No attacking terrorists escaped from Pakistan Navy’s Mehran base after storming the defence facility that left more than $40 million worth of two PC3-Orion surveillance and anti-submarine aircrafts destroyed on Sunday’s night, officials privy to the situation told Daily Times on condition of anonymity.
They claimed that the conflicting figures issued by some political personalities were devoid of any real facts. “No one had escaped from the PNS Mehran base and all four attackers were killed during the operation,” the sources asserted. There were reports by some political leaders that two attackers escaped from PNS Mehran base after conducting the attack but it was not the case at all, the sources added.
Outside the PNS Mehran base, there was a wide area with unauthorised and encroached housing of many residents and after the attack on the defence base, the security personnel swiped the area, the official informed.
The officials further said there were some evidences of footprints there that suggest maybe one or two facilitators of terrorists remained outside the base and never entered the defence facility due to the three-layered strict security cordon enforced by the security forces immediately after the attack. A long-range wireless set had been recovered from the base and it is a possibility that one of the terrorists were in contact with someone outside the base, the sources speculated.
“It was almost impossible to flee from a naval base under such strict security,” one source said, adding, “The security personnel within a short time located the attackers and restricted them to a localised area within the proximity of PNS Mehran base.” Navy commandos reached the base immediately after the armed attack and Lieutenant Yasir Abbas led the retaliatory operation and was martyred during the process, the source confirmed what has been already known.
After the first assault, the terrorists were completely restrained from carrying out further attacks on the naval facility, the sources said. The officials further claimed that the security forces battled the terrorists fearlessly and cleared the naval base.
The sources said that some bullets of Indian origin were found from the terrorist possession and they had night vision goggles too. Experts were still searching for clues and articles from the base used by the terrorists, they added.
Except the bullets, entire weaponry used and recovered from terrorists’ possession was often used by elite forces in Central Asian Republics and the Russian Federation, one official disclosed.
There were 17 foreigners at the naval facility at the time, including 11 Chinese and six US citizens, who were provided strict security, remained safe and evacuated safely from the base, the officials added. The officials said that the investigators would eventually uncover the identities of militants involved in the assault at PNS Mehran.
The inquiry committee, headed by Rear Admiral Tehsinullah Khan, has been investigating the terrorist attack. Representatives from Pakistan Air Force, police, naval intelligence and Rangers are also part of the investigation.
