Heavily armed militants launched an assault on Pakistan's busiest airport in the southern city of Karachi, leaving at least 21 dead including 10 militants in a six-hour siege that the army quelled at dawn. Explosions and gunfire rang out as the attackers, some dressed in military uniforms, battled security forces in one of the most brazen attacks in years on Pakistan's biggest city. Authorities said all 10 militants had been killed and that at least 11 dead bodies including security personnel and two civilians were received by the city's main Jinnah Hospital.
