If it was not enough for Bin Laden to be found in Pakistan, Pakistan itself keeps getting attacked by its own people. On Sunday, May 22nd, 2011, Pakistan’s Naval Base (Mehran Naval Air Base) was bombarded with attacks with armed men who were able to destroy two P-3C Orion Helicopters within just a matter of few minutes. What does the International community think about this? The fact that the base which is responsible for keeping the country safe is so easily penetrable, then where do the citizens of that country feel safe?

Obviously, for those who were watching this happen in action live on TV, noticed that the initial reaction of the Pakistani Navy was just mere flabbergasted-ness; which did give the attackers a more head start then that of which had already been gained.

The Pakistani Navy has assured time and time again after this terrorist attack that most of the attackers were caught, dead or alive; the one’s which they have alive, the Navy did not release a number of how many, will be brought to justice.

P-3C Orion Helicopters are the Navy’s eyes and ears, one of their most prized possessions. The fact of the matter stands that the attackers went straight for the Helicopters primarily and then started destroying the rest of the naval base. The aircrafts that were destroyed were “gifts” from the US military to Pakistan in June 2010; Pakistan will be receiving eight more by 2012.

There are two guesses as to who this can be:

1.       Taliban

2.       India

Whoever it may be did hit a main target.
