Pakistani Taliban attack airport in Karachi, 27 dead
Taliban militants disguised as security forces stormed Pakistan’s busiest airport on Sunday and at least 27 people were killed in a night-long battle at one of the country’s most high-profile targets.
The assault on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, Pakistan’s sprawling commercial hub of 18 million people, all but destroys prospects for peace talks between the Pakistani Taliban and the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
It also deals a heavy blow to Sharif’s efforts to attract foreign investors to revive economic growth and raises questions about security at the country’s main installations.

American apathy has consequences. The pResident’s illegal release of five top Taliban terrorists has emboldened them. What will it take to wake up America? And what will happen when the sleeping giant realizes that the enemy is us in the form of a federal government?
