  • The PNS Mehran attack was an attack/shooting by Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Al Qaeda which took place on 22 May 2011, at PNS Mehran, the headquarters of the Pakistan Navy's Naval Air Arm and the most populous Pakistani military installation, located near the PAF's Faisal Air Force Base of Karachi, Sindh. In the course of the event, 15 attackers killed 18 military personnel and wounded 16 in a sophisticated terrorist attack which lasted 16 hours. Two American-built P-3C Orion surveillance aircraft were destroyed. According to the United States and Western intelligence sources, the attack was far more dangerous than the 2009 Pakistan Army General Headquarters attack, and was better planned and more rehearsed than the previous attack. It was the biggest attack on the Navy and its assets since 1971, and is believed to have been the last major attack of militant mastermind Ilyas Kashmiri. The Special Service Group Navy (SSG (N)), carried out the counter-attack, which was the largest operation led by SSG (N). (en)
  • L’assaut de la base aéronavale de Mehran de 2011 à Karachi s'est déroulé le 23 mai 2011 quand des hommes armés ont pris d’assaut cette importante base de l'armée pakistanaise. L'attaque a duré seize heures, à la suite de quoi l'armée pakistanaise a réussi à reprendre le contrôle de la base. On compterait seize morts et d'importants dommages matériels. Les combats se déroulent dans la base de Mehran qui contient le quartier général des forces aéronautiques navales de la marine pakistanaise, située à Karachi, plus importante ville du Pakistan. L'attaque est revendiquée par le Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), qui est en état de guerre avec les autorités pakistanaises depuis 2007 et est responsable d'une vague d'attentats terroristes qui a tué plus de 4 400 personnes en quatre ans. Le TTP avait promis de venger la mort d'Oussama ben Laden le 2 mai. Depuis le groupe a mené trois attaques qui ont fait plus de 120 morts. (fr)
