Gunmen attacked Karachi’s largest international airport in Pakistan overnight on Sunday, killing at least 18 people and wounding at least 14, according to theAssociated Press. In a five-hour attack that stretched into Monday morning, gunmen infiltrated Jinnah International Airport and waged an extended firefight against security forces. Huge explosions and fireballs were reported at several points during the fighting, and local news outlets said at least two planes had caught fire. An army spokesman said that all 10 of the gunmen who attacked the airport had been killed. On Monday, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for the killing of the militant group's leader in a U.S. drone strike last November. http://www.securitymanagement.com/
