Tuesday's assault targeted the Airport Security Forces camp near Karachi's Jinnah International Airport, the airport's manager told CNN's Saima Mohsin.

It was not immediately clear how the militants were carrying out their attack or how many casualties may have resulted. At least 30 ambulances rushed to the scene, Mohsin said.

Once again, the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility.

With this second attack and the fall of Mosul and the province of Nineveh we have entered a new and different phase. The radicals now have some big time momentum and brand new shiny heavy weapons. When this happens you can't stop. I think it's starting to be clear that the Sunni rads pulled off a pretty good strategic move. Tie down Hezbollah in Syria and go after the bigger prize Iraq. Now as discussed in other comments can they hold if the Iranians intervene?
