全副武装的激进分子星期日冲进巴基斯坦城市卡拉奇的主要机场,与警察和军人发生持续五小时的枪战,造成至少28人死亡,其中包括10名枪手。
有关官员说,所有10名枪手或被警察击毙,或引爆自杀背心身亡。
几名安全人员和四名机场职员被打死。乘客们已经安全疏散,无人受伤。
有关官员说,激进分子身穿类似机场安全人员制服的衣服,使用手榴弹和火箭筒,闯入真纳国际机场的候机厅。
激进分子与警察的枪战一直持续到星期一早晨,其间听到几次巨大的爆炸声。冲突中燃起大火,照亮了夜空。
巴基斯坦军方说,到星期一黎明时,卡拉奇机场已经恢复安全。
巴基斯坦塔利班宣称对此次袭击负责。这个激进组织不久前与巴基斯坦进行和谈,但未获成功。
巴基斯坦总理谢里夫对袭击者予以谴责。
Heavily-armed militants stormed the main airport in Karachi, Pakistan Sunday, leading to a five-hour gunbattle with police and soldiers, leaving at least 28 people dead, including 10 gunmen.
Officials say all 10 gunmen were either shot by police or blew themselves up with suicide vests.
Several security personnel were killed along with four airport staff members. Passengers were evacuated to safety and none were hurt.
Officials say the militants wore disguises resembling airport security uniforms and used hand grenades and rocket launchers to blast their way into the terminal at Jinnah International Airport.
Several large explosions were heard throughout the gunfight with police that lasted well into Monday morning. A huge fire erupted during the clash, lighting up the night sky.
The army said the airport had been secured by dawn Monday.
The Pakistan Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack. The militant group recently held failed peace talks with the Pakistani government.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attackers.
