Gunmen attack Indian air force base near Pakistan border
[DAWN] A group of four to five gunnies attacked an Indian air force base near the border with Pakistain early Saturday, a top police official said, with fighting ongoing.
Ah, yes. Modi makes kissy-face with Nawaz on Christmas day, Indian military base attacked on New Year's. Just like clockwork.
"The base came under attack from four to five murderous Moslems at around 3.30am. The gunfire is still going on," Kunwar Vijay Partap Singh, director general of police in Pathankot district in Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
state told AFP.

"Two of the attackers are believed to be dead in the shootout while the rest are holding out inside one of the buildings in the base," he said.

He added that there had been no damage to fighter planes at the base and that security forces were still trying to identify the attackers.

Pathankot is on the highway that connects India's insurgency wracked Jammu and Kashmire state with the rest of the country. It's also very close to India's border with Pakistain.
The Times of Israel adds:
A top security official, who asked not to be named, told AFP that the gunnies were believed to be from the Jaish-e-Mohammed Islamist group, describing them as suicide kaboomers who breached security at the base in the northern state of Punjab while wearing army uniforms.

Authorities had put the state on high alert on Friday after five gunnies in army fatigues hijacked a car driven by a police brass hat, which was later found abandoned on the Pathankot-Jammu highway, an important road link connecting the restive neighbouring region of Kashmire with India's plains.

It was not yet clear if there was any link with Saturday's attack.
