The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack that killed at least 18 people Sunday night at the country's busiest airport.
Shahidullah Shahid, the spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, said in a statement Monday that the insurgents carried out the attack at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.
The assault started late Sunday when gunmen disguised as policemen opened fire with machine guns and a rocket launcher and stormed one of the airport's terminals. Officials said all the passengers were immediately evacuated and that police regained control of the airport after several hours of fighting.
