Stating this, Interior Minister Rehman Malik added Monday that investigation into the audacious attack on the PNS Mehran base was going on.
"It was premature at this stage to say anything about the perpetrators," the Associated Press of Pakistan quoted him as saying.
At least four terrorists and 10 security personnel were killed when insurgents stormed the naval base and fought for hours. The attackers also destroyed two American made surveillance aircraft.
In the same breath, the minister added that the Taliban and Al Qaeda were anti-Pakistan and indulging in terrorism to destabilize the country.
