TTP claims attack on Karachi ASF camp
172
KARACHI: Attackers managed to flee as a heavy contingent of security forces reached Airport Security Force (ASF) camp number 2, which came under a fresh attack on Tuesday, DawnNews reported. Flight operations resumed after being temporarily suspended, and routes leading to the airport were cleared for traffic, the Civil Aviation Authority said.
The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the second attack near the Karachi airport. A security sweep and search operation is underway at the ASF academy, which is located in Bhitai Abad, Pehlwan Goth.
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesperson Asim Bajwa posted on Twitter that the "chase is still on". "Three to four terrorists fired near ASF camp, ran away. No breach of fence, no entry.Chase is on, situation under control," he posted, soon after the attack.
Deputy Director General ASK, Colonel Tahir Ali said there were no casualties in the new attack. He also said the the airport is secure at that operations have resumed. He said that two attackers opened fire near the ladies hostel near D gate, which is located behind the ASF camp. "The ASF checkpost is about 100 metres from the scene. We were informed of the incident by our sentry posted there," he said.
The DG ASF in a press conference later cautioned journalists against using the word "hamla" (attack) to describe the latest incident at the ASF camp.
Heavy firing was reported at the ASF camp in the metropolis on Tuesday after unidentified men entered the premises. Initial reports suggest that the number of attackers could be between four and seven.
Following a search operation in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, two suspects have been detained by security forces.
DawnNews reported that explosions were also heard, causing panic among citizens in the vicinity. The Director General of Rangers has reached the site to oversee the operation.

The camp is situated near the Jinnah International Airport which the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) had cleared on Monday after a long battle between security forces and terrorists left 28 dead.
A Twitter account allegedly operated by Omar Khorasani of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Mohmand faction tweeted on Tuesday claiming that the group has carried out this second attack.
The Twitter account of the CAA, @AirportPakistan tweeted earlier that EK 606 from Dubai which was expected to arrive at Karachi airport at 12:50pm is now returning to Dubai. It also posted that a Shaheen International Airlines flight NL 162 coming from Multan has been sent back. It later posted that flights are now landing and departing from the airport.

Public awareness is the only way to start some system.
Police should start an operation on all the rented apartments and houses in the city. Who rents it and lives there has to be some check and balance. If i am hiring a gatekeeper or a cleaner in my home i should provide his NIC to the police station and his record should be cross checked. Such operations and processes if followed properly pays off at some time.
These incidents are shouting out a huge demand of adapting such systems that we have been ignoring since a long time.

All this is not just taking toll on people in Pakistan but beyond - a direct result of poor/no policies of the Govt - they are accuostomed of having '100 onions as well 100 lashes'. Look through the most recent history and i am sure you will find many examples which i dont need to repeat.

@shibly
and all Pakistan military critics, please note that the safety and security of the airports, roads and ASF premises is the responsibility of local police and Airport security force and 34 odd civilian security agencies.
not the military...
if these poor civilian personnel can be spared the VIP duties then we wont be looking at the military to come and rescue us. the East Pakistan situation is being created where the entire civilian setup was broken, and army was being asked to do the police work, rescue work, fight the terrorism and defend the borders too.
just ask your elected representatives why they need hundreds of police commandos when our airports are left unguarded?

Beyond that PAKMIL can now say that, this is the outcome of the peace process with TTP, even though they are also muslims, thousands cannot terrorize and destroy the land of 185 m. paks.

There is very little security between Pahlwaan Goth and the airport. A barbed wire fence is not enough. The best option would have been removal of houses from the vicinity but since that is not possible , a wall should be built between the road and the fence. Wall should be electronically secured, with and the fence should be electrified . If Sindh government can spend 100 million in erecting a wall at the Bilawal House , it can certainly spend a few millions to do this. Will it be done ?. Don't think so.
