13 Die in Pakistan Security Base Hostage-Taking Attack - VOA Share Share More than a dozen people were killed in an overnight battle between Pakistan paramilitary troops and militants who stormed their base and took families hostage, the army said. "Well-equipped" fighters assaulted a Frontier Corps compound in Muslim Bagh, Balochistan province, and captured three families in a residential block, the military said. Fighting raged from Friday evening until Saturday morning and "the complex clearance operation involved hostage rescue operation," the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but ethnic Baloch separatist groups have for decades waged a rebellion against the state in the southwestern province, frequently targeting security forces. The Pakistan Taliban is also active in the region. "The terrorists had not even spared children" in their hostage-taking, ISPR said. All six militants who breached the compound were killed, it said. Seven "sons of the soil" -- a term generally used for state security forces -- were killed but one individual was a civilian, ISPR said. Six more people, includi…

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Evolves Under Pressure 10.02.2015Farhan Zahid The recent attack by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) camp at Badaber, located 10 miles from Peshawar, fully displayed the jihadist group’s professional, yet highly violent, nature. Dressed in uniforms of the Frontier Constabulary (a paramilitary force), 14 militants breached the security parameter of the PAF camp and then entered from two different points in the early hours of September 18. The resulting battle went on for two hours and left at least 28 military personnel and all 14 attackers dead (News International, September 18). Later, five of the dead militants were identified; two of whom were from the Swat district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province while three came from the tribal areas where the camp was located (Dawn, September 19). The attack is the first time an air force camp (as opposed to an airbase) has been targeted by militants. However, PAF airbases have long been repeatedly targeted by TTP and associated groups, and long before the government launched its Operation Zarb-e-Azb anti-militant campaign in June 2014. For instance, PAF Base Kamra, in Punjab province, w…

Massacre, hunt, elimination: The 93-day operation to track Pahalgam ... One of the deadliest attacks on civilians in recent years in India unfolded on April 22, 2025, in the picturesque meadows of Baisaran near Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, triggering a massive, months-long counterterrorism operation that culminated in the elimination of three terrorists deep inside the forests of Dachhigam. Last year this day, terroristsdisguised as tourists entered the Baisaran meadowsthrough the surrounding forests. They were armed with automatic weapons and targeted the tourists based on their religion. The terrorist singled out men before shooting the non-Muslim tourists. The fact that there was only a single entry and exit made the area a massacre ground for the innocent citizens. The dastardly act of cowardice left 26 people dead and 17 injured in an incident considered most horrific attack on civilians in India, since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Amid the chaos, an Indian Army officer on leave, Colonel Prashant Bhat, reportedly guided a group of tourists to safety through a gap in the fencing, saving multiple lives. Security forces responded swiftly. The Army, alongside CRPF andJammu and K…
