PNS Mehran attack: Base Commander suspended

Karachi: Base Commander PNS-Mehran Raja Tahir has been suspended apparently due to his inability to thwart terrorist attack on Sunday night that led to killing of at least 20 officials and destruction f the two PC-3 Orian aircrafts.

Sources said on Wednesday that Commodore Khalid Pervez has been appointed new base commander of the PNS Mehran, adding that previous commander will remain suspended till the inquiry into the attack is completed.

The sources said that naval authorities have investigated four court-martialed navy officials detained in Adiala jail Rawalpindi for their complicity in terror attack in the country.They said that the four officials had not been deployed in the PNS Mehran during their services.

They said two of the six terrorists helped their four accomplices in scaling the wall of the airbase  and left the scene.

The fact astonished the investigators was that the attackers passed by a fleet of US-supplied C-130 but did not target the planes.

"It seems that the PC-3 Orian was the main target of the attackers" a security expert said, adding no PC-3 Orian ever took part in any operation against the militants in northwest tribal region.
