Ten gunmen attacked Jinnah International Airport in Karachi with machine guns and a rocket launcher
The Pakistani Taliban suggested their mission was to hijack a passenger plane
Some of the attackers 'appeared to be Uzbeks' but officials were still investigating
The airport, the largest in Pakistan, had to be evacuated during the five-hour siege which start late Sunday evening
Flames and explosions lit up the night sky above the airport as the armed group launched the high-profile assault
At least three loud explosions heard during night-time attack as militants wearing suicide vests blew themselves up
The Airport Security Force (ASF) sealed off the airport and army commandos have been called in to battle
The gunmen are said to have killed 27 people - including ASF personnel - while at least another 15 were injured
All ten of the gunmen were killed during the attack, for which the Pakistani Taliban later claimed responsibility
This kind of shite will never stop over there.
