[DAWN] KARACHI: Months after Owais Jakhrani was sacked from the Pakistain navy for radical religious views, he led an audacious mission to take over a warship and turn its guns on a US naval vessel in the open seas. The early September dawn raid at a naval base in the southern city of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... was thwarted, but not before Jakhrani, two officers and an unidentified fourth assailant snuck past a patrol boat in a dinghy and engaged in an intense firefight on or around the warship, PNS Zulfiqar. |
