Ø A group of four terrorists stormed the Pathankot Air Force base
early on Saturday morning, killing six services personnel and injuring 18 after
a fierce gun battle through the day, before being shot dead. The attack raised
the spectre of cross-border terror yet again challenging peace efforts between
India and Pakistan. Sketchy information available from official sources said
one Garud commando of the Air Force and two Defence Security Corps personnel
were among those dead. Statements from both New Delhi and Islamabad indicated
that the attack wouldn’t immediately scuttle the December 25 initiative of
Prime Minister Narendra Modi to drop in at Lahore in a surprise diplomatic
effort to bring momentum back to the engagement that had suffered repeated
setbacks since the NDA government came to power in May 2014.
