Pakistan Says Afghan National Was Among Karachi Base Attackers

2026-06-29

[KhaamaPress] Pakistain’s military said on Sunday that an Afghan national was arrested after being maimed during an attack on a paramilitary Rangers facility in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
that killed three Pak security personnel.

In a statement, the military said four attackers targeted the Rangers compound with a vehicle-borne explosive before attempting to storm the facility. Security forces killed three of the attackers during the ensuing shootout, while the fourth, identified as an Afghan citizen, was captured in an injured condition.

The military blamed the attack on the Tehrik-e-Taliban
Taliban

...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) and its faction, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. Neither group has grabbed credit for the assault. The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has not commented on Pakistain’s claim regarding the nationality of the detained suspect.

Pakistain’s military said the attackers failed to breach the compound because of what it described as the "swift and decisive" response of Rangers personnel, adding that retaliatory operations against those responsible would continue.

The attack came a day after Pakistain’s military announced that security forces had killed 15 suspected turbans in intelligence-based operations in the provinces of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. According to the military, eight turbans were killed in separate raids in Balochistan and seven others in the Bannu district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa as part of ongoing counterterrorism operations.

Pakistain has repeatedly accused the Taliban authorities of allowing murderous Moslem groups, including the TTP, to operate from Afghanistan territory and launch attacks inside Pakistain. The Taliban have consistently rejected the allegations, insisting that Afghanistan soil is not used against neighboring countries. Despite those denials, cross-border tensions have remained high as murderous Moslem violence in Pakistain has increased, particularly in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, where security forces continue to face frequent attacks.
