Time Magazine's Omar Waraich points out that this is the third attack on the base since 2007. Worryingly, the militants may have good reason to attack the base.
...a recent surge in proposals to build dozens of gas terminals around the United States have raised questions about whether they’re too dangerous for metropolitan areas. Boston is currently one of just four ports in the continental United States to receive liquefied natural gas by ship, and the only one in a commercial and residential hub.
Liquefied natural gas, or LNG, is natural gas in a liquid form that has been cooled to minus-259 degrees. The liquid is warmed and turned to gas, which is used for heating and cooking as well as electricity generation. LNG imports account for only about 1 percent of the U.S. gas supply, but Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has advocated expanding imports to ease energy prices.

I'll wait for confirmation on this story, but if it's true then that's a frightening proposition... Pakistan has ALWAYS been a huge concern of mine since they are a nuclear country that has so many terrorist organizations passing through it .. apparently without care of the government ( bin laden anyone? ) ...
India I am not worried about.. Pakistan I've always been concerned with

I agree with you 100%. What I can't help but wonder is how this organization is equipped and manned to the point that they are able to fight the Pakistani military...? They either must have had great numbers or superior firepower, otherwise they should have been caught or captured quite early into the "battle." Unless they truly are better trained than the military, which seems hard to believe. Or maybe they ARE the military...Dun dun dun.

WIth their intense radiological signature nukes are detected as soon as they are moved assuming you store them in a cave or something, where they do not get picked up right away. Now if they get hold of a delivery system and the know how to use it, then its time to worry.
