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..

Chips Are Falling..

Pakistan Tells U.S. It Must Sharply Cut C.I.A. Activities

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan has demanded that the United States steeply reduce the number of Central Intelligence Agency operatives and Special Operations forces working in Pakistan, and that it halt C.I.A. drone strikes aimed at militants in northwest Pakistan. The request was a sign of the near collapse of cooperation between the two testy allies.

When it ends, this alliance will not end well..
