Deutsche Welle: Pakistan blames Afghanistan for the attack on Peshawar air force base
Pakistan's army claims that the militants who attacked an air force base in Peshawar had come from Afghanistan. The assault has also raised doubts about the success of a military operation in the country's northwest.
Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa, the Pakistani army spokesman, told the media on Friday that the security forces had secured the Badaber air force compound after an hours-long firefight, killing all 13 militants. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the assault.
"At least 23 air force personnel, three army soldiers and four civilians" have also been killed, according to Bajwa.
