Al Jazeera: Indian air force base rocked by fresh gunfire
At least two attackers remain inside Pathankot base in Punjab state after day-long siege declared over, officials say.
An Indian airbase in the northwestern state of Punjab has been rocked by fresh gunfire and blasts, hours after authorities announced that a day-long gun battle was over.
A senior federal police official confirmed two gunmen were still holed up in Pathankot airbase on Sunday, after pre-dawn raid on Saturday led to intense fighting in which four attackers and seven Indian military personnel were killed.
Saturday's attack, 50km from the border with Pakistan, came just a week after Narendra Modi, India's prime minister, made an unannounced Pakistan visit to meet his counterpart in a bid to revive bilateral talks that had previously been derailed by armed attacks.
WNU Editor: Here is an easy prediction .... this attack is going to be used by critics to kill any Pakistan - Indian peace overtures.

Pakistan has long had a problem with increasing India interest on its western flank, in Afghanistan. Therefore Pakistan supports Taliban, which has successfully defeated the US and its allies (including India). Now some messages to India.
