It seems that Taliban have stick to their promise as TTP spokesperson said about Sunday’s attack on Jinnah International airport that it was just the beginning and more such attacks will be conducted throughout the country.
A security check post outside Pakistan’s Karachi airport was attacked by gunmen on Tuesday, an official spokesman told AFP, just a day after an all-night siege that left 37 dead.
“Gunmen are exchanging fire with Airport Security Force personnel at a check post guarding the airport,” an ASF spokesman said.
Heavily armed militants launched an assault on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on late Sunday night, leaving at least 37 dead including 10 militants in a six-hour siege that the army quelled.
