More than two dozen dead as Taliban assault Pakistan's main airport

KARACHI, Pakistan, (Reuters) – Taliban militants disguised as security forces stormed into Pakistan’s busiest airport on Sunday night, triggering an all-night battle in which at least 27 people were killed.

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 deals a heavy blow to Sharif’s efforts to attract foreign investors to revive economic growth, and raises questions about security at Pakistan’s main installations.
