Pakistan commandos foil Taliban bid to hijack Navy frigate PNS Zulfiquar


Pakistan marine and army commandos foiled an attempt on 6 September by the Taliban to hijack PNS Zulfiquar – at least six militants stormed the dockyard and two of them were killed in the encounter and one of them was a former navy officer who had left the service a few months ago zeenews.india.com. The commandos succeeded in capturing four others.
As per information, the Taliban militants who attacked Karachi's naval dockyard last week were planning to hijack a Pakistani navy missile frigate with inside help, indicating the extent of radicalization within the forces.
The PNS Zulfiquar was a frigate purchased from China and inducted in July 2009.
The Pakistani navy has so far issued only one statement in connection with the attack claimed by the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), which said it had inside help and the investigators have detained at least 17 navy personnel for their alleged involvement in the attack.
It seems all the detained persons are either serving or former navy personnel and they had got the weapons used in the attack smuggled into the dockyard in advance and had kept in lockers by the rogue navy personnel. The terrorists had earlier attacked the Mehran naval airbase in May 2011.
