Karachi airport under attack
2014-06-09
Heavily armed terrorists militants attacked Pakistan’s busiest airport in the southern city of Karachi on Sunday night, forcing the suspension of all flights, officials said.

Senior police official Rao Mohammad Anwar said the terrorists militants were armed with automatic weapons and grenades and were exchanging gunfire with security personnel.

“Exchange of fire is continuing. We don’t know the exact number of the terrorists attackers but suspect four to six terrorists have attacked the airport,” he said.

Abid Qaimkhani, a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority, confirmed the attack, adding all flights had been suspended.

Television footage showed plumes of smoke rising from the runway where planes were parked.
