ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan's military has an obscure but growing new threat on its radar, security experts say, just as it heads for a tense general election.
The military on Nov. 4 said it had foiled an attack on a Pakistan Air Force training facility in the province of Punjab, PAF Base M.M. Alam, killing nine fighters. "No damage has been done to any of the PAF's functional operational assets, while only some damage was done to three already phased out non-operational aircraft during the attack," a statement said.
