Three officials face court-martial over PNS Mehran base attack
[Dawn] Officials of Pakistain Navy on Monday recommended court-martial for three officers allegedly involved in May 22, 2011 attack on PNS Mehran base in Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , DawnNews reported. An investigation committee was constituted after the attack, which after probing for months has recommended to court-martial Base Commander Raja Tahir, Commander of Mehran Base Israr and Lt-Commander Mohammad Absar. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... the final decision will be taken by the Navy chief and other high ranked officials after going through details of the committee's recommendation. The committee has also recommended stringent security measures at all bases including Mehran air base. On May 22, 2011, armed beturbanned goons stormed into the naval airbase and destroyed three aircraft and killed six military officials. Five beturbanned goons were also killed during the operation, which was launched by the security forces to liberate the base which was held by the beturbanned goons for more than 15 hours.
