Good the guards were vigilant. I hope we repay it back at Sargodha with a strike similar to Mehran base.

ritsar/Chandigarh: In an attack strikingly similar to the Gurdaspur terror strike five months ago, armed men struck at two different places in Punjab's border district of Pathankot early on Friday and killed one man. Police said that the four attackers could be fidayeen from Pakistan going by their description of one of the survivors and were on the loose in the border district.
National Security Guard commandos landed in the state by around 9.30 pm on Friday to track down the alleged terrorists, believed to be in hiding in Pathankot's hilly terrain. The India-Pakistan border has been sealed at Gurdaspur, Ferozepur and Amritsar.

Man Aman Singh Chinna: (tweet from lasy night): Very strange happenings in Pathankot. A SP is abducted along Indo-Pak border by men in Army fatigues. A man with throat slit found.

Pathankot terror strike- How the attack was launched
On the second day of the year 2016, Punjab witnessed a major terror attack. This brings back memories of the horrific Gurdaspur attack which was carried out in similar fashion. At around 3.30 AM, a group of four to five terrorists launched an attack at the Air Force station in Pathankot, Punjab. All of them are suspected to have made their dissent into India from Pakistan, police officials say.
The terror strike which took place early this morning is being linked to the incident that took place last night in which a driver was killed and the vehicle of a police official was stolen. The terrorists who appear to be part of the same group that carried out the Gurdaspur attack were dressed in army fatigues and heavily armed.
The modus operandi:
It is being suspected that the group of four terrorists had entered into India with an intention of launching a major strike at a defence installation. They are said to have hired a vehicle. The police suspect that the terrorists may have killed the driver of the taxi Ikagar Singh. His body was found with his throat slit.
The terrorists are then said to have punctured the tyres of the taxi. Later on at the Jammu-Pathankot highway they waylaid a car in which Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh, his friend Rajesh Verma, a jeweller, and Verma’s cook Madan Gopal were present. The officer who gave his statement said that there was a group of five men who threatened them at gun point. After driving for around 20 kilometres, the officer and the other persons were forced out of the car.
The police suspect that this incident may be directly linked to the firing that took place this morning at the Pathankot airbase. It is however not clear if the same vehicle these terrorists were stolen was used to reach the attack spot. Preliminary investigations however suggest that it may be the same vehicle used by the terrorists to reach the spot as it was an official car and they could have gone through without being spotted by the security forces, officials also point out.

Why is the NDTV reporter saying "goof up" every 30 secs, irritating!

Good that news channels are restricted.
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
We really need to sink a ship or blow up an air base in Pakijabi land. If they don't get terrible medicine, these scums will never stop. We need 100 dead Paki officers.
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
Are there two different terror attacks? I thought it was the IAF base that was attacked and that the attackers had been boxed into a single building. So where does this hilly terrain come from?SidSom wrote:National Security Guard commandos landed in the state by around 9.30 pm on Friday to track down the alleged terrorists, believed to be in hiding in Pathankot's hilly terrain.
Is there another group of terrorists loose in Pathankot?
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
These ma@()ds.... i can't gather words due to anger.
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
Was expecting something like this after latest hug and kiss fest with Badmash. Except this time GoI might have laid a trap knowing fully well how the uniformed jehadis of the Paki Army will react.

Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
PM Modi must condemn this attack in the strongest possible terms by falling at the feet of Nawaz's grand-aunt
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
Punjab SP was abducted yesterday by a group of terrorists from Jammu Pathankot highway. According to IB warning about 15 to 20 LeT pigs have infiltrated into Punjab. That explains NSG landing at 9:30 PM. This attack was somewhat expected.Kashi wrote:Are there two different terror attacks?

Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
This could be a phase 1. So need to be vigilant and high alert.
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
It's possible Modi's Lahore trip got planned after intel inputs about impending terror attacks. I am really curious how Modi will respond now.Raja Bose wrote:Was expecting something like this after latest hug and kiss fest with Badmash.

We are still seen as a soft nation. Unless that changes there will attacks on our nation.
Re: Pathankot AirForce base under attack
Even Gaurav Sawant's tweets make no mention of terrorists beyond the IAF base. Either there are none, or media clampdown is very strict, so only conjectures.
