Taliban Claims Responsibility for Deadly Pakistan Airport Attack
Allie Jones · 06/09/14 07:15AMThe Pakistani Taliban took credit on Monday for an attack on Pakistan's busiest airport, according to The New York Times. On Sunday night, 10 gunmen — some of them dressed as police — entered the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan and led a five-hour assault in the VIP terminal, killing 19 people. The Taliban in part blames the U.S. for the attack, claiming it was revenge for last November's drone strike that killed Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud.
