The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the weekend attack on a naval dockyard.
It maybe recalled that Taliban militants attacked a Karachi naval dockyard in a raid which left an officer and two insurgents dead.
The Dawn quoted Taliban spokesman Shahidullah Shahid, as saying, "We claim responsibility for the attack on the navy in Karachi."
"We had support from inside the naval force for this attack. This operation was successful because of this support. We will continue targeting security forces like this in future also," he added.
The Navy said in a statement late on Monday night that "on Saturday a group of miscreants tried to penetrate Pakistan Navy Dockyard area defences at Karachi. Pakistan Navy security personnel responded valiantly and in the ensuing encoun-ter killed two while apprehending four miscreants alive".
