Gunmen Attack Karachi Airport, Killing at Least 4 Guards
Gunmen attacked a cargo and V.I.P. area of Karachi’s international airport late Sunday night, engaging in a heavy firefight with security forces and killing at least four of them, Pakistani security officials said.
The officials said that at least eight attackers were involved, and that the fighting was continuing early Monday morning.
Security forces sealed off the airport, and flights began being diverted away from Karachi within minutes of the fighting. Witnesses saw smoke rising from the airport’s old terminal, and one Pakistani news channel aired footage of at least one plane on fire nearby.
