TTP claims attack on PAF base Kamra

The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan on Thursday claimed responsibility of the attack on Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) Minhas airbase at Kamra. Ehsanullah Ehsan, while speaking to a private TV channel from an undisclosed location, said: “We have killed scores of security personnel.” He also claimed that they have damaged three JF-17 thunder aircraft. “We are proud of this operation. Our leadership had decided to attack Kamra base a long time ago.” Ehsan said “nine of our men entered the base, four from one side and five from the other… They got together and launched the operation.” He said that the attack was a revenge for the lives of Baitullah Mehsud and Osama Bin Laden. The TTP spokesman said that “they will continue the attacks on the military installments until the establishment of Islamic rule in the country.” He also confirmed the death of all nine TTP men who attacked the base.
