Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir rejected the reports of “security breach” at the Pakistan Navy’s airbase that was attacked by TTP, saying the attack on the airbase could not be termed “security lapse”. “Terrorists wanted to cause damage to the assets of the navy. And it was clear that they targeted naval forces,” said Noman Bashir. Contrary to Bashir’s statement, Pakistan defence and political analysts termed the attack on the Mehran naval air base as a "big security lapse", reports Indian Express. Security Experts said that "insiders" were facilitating the militants in their deadly agenda and asked the Government and military to wake up to this. The daring attack by the armed militants, who used rockets, grenades and heavy ammunition, has raised serious doubt over the military's ability to protect its key installations. "It is a worrying thing that this attack is nothing but a serious security lapse on part of the navy," Air Vice Marshal and defence analyst (retd) Shahzad Chaudhary, said. "It is not possible for these terrorists to have so much creditable information about the presence of the aircrafts on the base without inside help. The fact that these militants have managed to hold off the SFs for 16 hours shows they came well drilled and prepared for the operation," Nasim Zehra, a political and current affairs expert said.

Anti-Extremism Cell of the Crime Investigation Department (CID) on May 29 claimed to have arrested four Sunni Tehreek (ST) activists in connection with target killing incidents across Karachi and recovered a triple two riffle and two TT pistols from their possession, reported Daily Times.

Imam also admitted that he was involved in the murder of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) cadre Omar Dhobi at Aram Bagh.

Dawn quoting the senior officials of Pakistan Navy reported that terrorists had entered the PNS Mehran base after breaching Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) security parameters on the southern side, about 800 metres from the naval airbase. One of the officials said that the fact that terrorists did not attack the PAF facilities and rushed towards the PNS base gave credence to the view that they had predetermined targets and were facilitated from within.

Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on July 8 said that intelligence reports have identified presence of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Kati Pahari and other areas of Karachi, reports Daily Times. “Intelligence agencies have identified presence of the Taliban in Karachi and the Government is working on it,” Malik said. He added that in order to bring the security situation under control, a new strategy had been evolved under which some “grey” areas of Karachi would be handed over to the Rangers and some to Police. “About 250 officials of the Frontier Corps (FC) have also been called in to assist Police and Rangers,” he said, adding, “We have started targeted actions in the troubled localities. We want to secure every street.” The minister said that 1,000 more paramilitary troops would be deployed to control the situation and if required, additional forces would also be called in from other Provinces. He said the Rangers had been given a ‘free hand’ to conduct raids and operations. “They have been asked to go for encounters when necessary to stop the killings of innocent people,” he further added. Malik also said that presence of intelligence officials has also been stepped up three times to get authentic information against miscreants. He further said that at least 80 people had been killed in the violence since July 5 while the number of injured was over 100. He said that some 173 suspects had been arrested while two alleged assailants had been shot dead. He also claimed that Security Forces had gained control of two terrorist check posts at Kati Pahari. Malik presented details of the raids taking place in various areas, adding that the Baldia Town and Katti Pahari areas were the worst hit by violence, adds Tribune. Malik disclosed that 89 suspects have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the target killings. Out of those arrested, 12 suspects are Urdu-speaking, 19 are Pathan and three are Baloch. He did not specify the ethnic backgrounds of the remaining suspects. He also said that the dead include very few politically-affiliated activists. The minister added that in some places where security forces entered to apprehend the criminal elements, children and elderly residents had been used by them as human shields. He added that security officials have ensured that no civilian lives are lost during the raids. “There is someone who is trying to de stabilise Pakistan,” the minister said, adding, that the terrorists target Karachi as it is the hub of economic activity, and that “enemies are targeting it because it is of strategic importance.”

He said, “Over 200 persons have been arrested and Israeli-made weapons, including AK-45 rifles, have been recovered from them”, adding, “It proves that foreign hands are behind unrest in Karachi.” To a question, he said there were target killings in Karachi but every murder was not an incident of target killing. “Investigations into most of the cases have pointed out that 66 per cent people were killed in Karachi due to personal enmity,” he opined, adding, “The media should be cautious and careful while reporting an incident of killing.”
