Pakistani Naval Base Attacked: Pretty Sure This Can't Be Good

Four dead in PNS Mehran attack: news agency

KARACHI: Four people were killed in an armed attack Sunday by terrorists on PNS Mehran, a heavily guarded base of Pakistan Navy, located along Sharea Faisal, according to a foreign news agency.
TV images showed flames rising in the air from PNS Mehran where, according to sources, terrorists blew up a US made P-3C Orion plane of Pakistan Navy standing at the hangar.
According to military and intelligence officials, about 10-12 terrorists laced with hand grenades and sophisticated weapons entered PNS Mehran through PAF Musuem.

Sources said the commandoes have surrounded the assailants.
The attack has occurred at a facility of Pakistan Navy which is situated in a high security zone of the city and where no common citizen is allowed to enter.

I wonder where the Taliban got ahold of "sophisticated weapons?"  That's really curious..
