Pakistani troops retake naval base from militants
None
Pakistani commandos regained control of a naval base Monday from a team of Taliban militants who attacked then occupied the high-security facility for 18 hours, an exceptionally audacious act of insurgent violence that dealt a humiliating blow to the military.
The attackers, who may have numbered no more than six, destroyed at least two US-supplied surveillance planes and killed 12 security officers. At least four of the attackers were killed. (AP)
