"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see."
Surely the most celebrated Belgian artist of the twentieth century, Rene Magritte has achieved great popular acclaim for his idiosyncratic approach to Surrealism. To support himself he spent many years working as a commercial artist, producing advertising and book designs, and this most likely shaped his fine art, which often has the abbreviated impact of an advertisement. While some French Surrealists led ostentatious lives, Magritte preferred the quiet anonymity of a middle-class existence, a life symbolized by the bowler-hatted men that often populate his pictures. In later years, he was castigated by his peers for some of his strategies (such as his tendency to produce multiple copies of his pictures), yet since his death his reputation has only improved. Conceptual artists have admired his use of text in images, and painters in the 1980s admired the provocative kitsch of some of his later work.
Bather (1925)
This elegant work is a fine example of Magritte's early attempts to find a restrained, illustrative style. It bears comparison with contemporary Belgian Expressionism and also with the classicizing modernist styles that were then popular throughout Europe. We can recognize many of the elements that characterized his later paintings, such as the prominence of the sea and the mysterious sphere in the background. This work also bears the influence of Magritte's professional forays into the world of fashion advertising, and his interest in the works of Fernand Léger. Bather can be compared to his painting The Bather between Light and Darkness (1935-36), which explores the same scene in the artist's mature style. In 1930, the artist gifted the picture to his sister-in-law, Leontine Berger.

Rene Magritte was the eldest of three boys, born to a fairly well-off family. His father is thought to have been in the manufacturing industry, and his mother was known to be a milliner before her marriage. Magritte's development as an artist was influenced by two significant events in his childhood; the first was an encounter with an artist painting in a cemetery, who he happened across while playing with a companion. Magritte later wrote, "I found, in the middle of some broken stone columns and heaped-up leaves, a painter who had come from the capital, and who seemed to me to be performing magic." The second pivotal event was the suicide of his mother in 1912 when Magritte was 14. According to the apocryphal account, Magritte was present when her body was fished out of a river, her face covered completely by her white dress. While current scholars believe this to be no more than a myth propagated by his nurse, the image of a head uncannily concealed by a contour-hugging cloth reoccurs throughout the artist's oeuvre.
Early Training
Magritte first began to paint in 1915 and enrolled in the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels the following year. However, he was fairly uninspired by his classes, and his attendance suffered as a result. He did become close friends with a fellow student, Victor Servranckx, who introduced Magritte to Futurism, Cubism, and Purism. In particular, Magritte was drawn to the work of Jean Metzinger and Fernand Leger, both of whom had much influence on Magritte's early work, as is evident from his experiments with Cubism such as his 1925 piece Bather.
Mature Period
In 1921, Magritte performed his obligatory military service and returned home in 1922 to marry Georgette Berger, a girl he had known since childhood. He also began work under Servranckx's supervision as a draughtsman in a wallpaper factory. This job lasted about a year, after which Magritte became a freelance designer of posters and publicity. In 1926, he signed a contract with the Galerie le Centaure in Brussels and was able to make his living as a fine artist for a brief spell. This early period was marked by profound changes in Magritte's work. Around 1925 he first saw the work of Giorgio de Chirico and began to work more distinctly within the Surrealist idiom. Not only were Magritte's images from the mid-1920s reminiscent of the desolate and mysterious mood that de Chirico created in his work, but the younger artist also went so far as to actually transpose many of de Chirico's favorite objects such as spheres, trains, and plaster hands onto his own canvases.
From 1927 to 1930, Magritte lived in Paris and forged strong connections with André Breton's coterie of Parisian Surrealists that at that time included artists such as Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí. He began incorporating more ambiguously organic forms in his work and experimenting with quintessentially Surrealist subject matter such as madness and hysteria. However, Magritte was increasingly disillusioned by the "dark" subjects of his fellow Surrealists. Perhaps most significantly, it was in Paris that Magritte began to experiment with the use of words and language in his paintings.
By 1930, his contract with the Galerie le Centaure had ended, and, later that year, the gallery shut its doors altogether. Magritte returned to Brussels to take up work in commercial advertising once again. Scholars dispute whether Magritte also supplemented his income during this time by producing faked paintings of established artists and even perhaps forged currency. Regardless, from 1930 to 1937, Magritte had little time to devote to his own art. By the late 1930s however, the growing interest of international collectors, including Edward James in London, led to Magritte's increased financial independence, and he was at last able to give up commercial work almost completely.
Late Period
Just as Magritte was achieving success and recognition, the Second World War broke out. Although he continued to develop his signature style, he also increasingly deployed a bright, impressionistic palette as a subversive response to the bleakness of the war. He wrote, "The sense of chaos, of panic, which Surrealism hoped to foster so that everything might be called into question was achieved much more successfully by those idiots the Nazis... Against widespread pessimism, I now propose a search for joy and pleasure." In 1946, Magritte signed a manifesto called Surrealism in Full Sunlight, and broke with Breton. This phase was followed by Magritte's brief experiment with an intentionally provocative "savage" style he called "vache" ("cow") that was characterized by vulgar subjects, crude coloring, and is generally regarded as parodying the Fauves. As Magritte expected, his works in this style were phenomenally unpopular. For the remainder of the 1950s and '60s, Magritte returned to his characteristic style and set of subjects. By the end of his life, he enjoyed great success and there were six major retrospectives of his oeuvre in the 1960s alone.
Magritte's work had a major impact on a number of movements that followed his death, including Pop, Conceptualism, and the painting of the 1980s. In particular, his work was hailed as a harbinger of upcoming trends in art for its emphasis on concept over execution, its close association with commercial art, and its focus on everyday objects that were often repeated in pictorial space. It is easy to see why artists such as Andy Warhol, Martin Kippenberger, and Robert Gober cite Magritte as a profound influence.

"Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist."
"Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences."
"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing...they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'what does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."
"We must not fear daylight just because it almost always illuminates a miserable world."
"Only thought can resemble. It resembles by being what it sees, hears, or knows; it becomes what the world offers it."

Cardinals fall into tie for 2nd wild card berth
LOS ANGELES The St. Louis Cardinals picked the wrong time to be giving away games like the last two they've played against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It could end up costing them a wild card berth - and they all know what they did last year after earning one on the final day of the regular season.
Closer Jason Motte, brought in to protect a one-run lead for Jaime Garcia, gave up a tying RBI double by Luiz Cruz and a run-scoring single by pinch-hitter Juan Rivera, sending the Cardinals to a 4-3 loss and dropping the defending World Series champions into a tie with the Dodgers for the second extra postseason ticket with 16 games remaining for both clubs.
After this four-game series concludes on Sunday, St. Louis will play its next nine games against the Astros and Cubs - who are a combined 83 games under .500 and 69 1-2 games out of first place in the NL Central. The Cards put themselves into this precarious position by losing 13 of their last 28 games.
"We invest ourselves a lot in every game, but obviously this one stings more than others," said first baseman Allen Craig, who homered and drove in three runs against Joe Blanton. "It's a tough loss, but putting your head down and being overly concerned about it isn't going to get us anywhere. So we've just got to play better and stay positive. We're still in a good spot."
Motte (4-5) retired his first two batters, but Andre Ethier kept the Dodgers alive with a single. Pinch-runner Dee Gordon stole second before Cruz drove him in with a drive that center fielder Jon Jay barely missed on a diving attempt in front of the warning track in right-center.
Rivera batted for A.J. Ellis and lined a single off the tip of second baseman Daniel Descalso's glove, enabling pinch-runner Elian Herrera to score the winning run.
"This was pretty big. It was definitely one of our most exciting games of the season so far," Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp said. "Cruz has definitely been amazing for us. He's been hitting the ball, getting those big hits for us and doing what it takes to win. That was an all-around good team win for us, and we needed that going into tomorrow."
On Friday night, Cruz helped beat the Cardinals 8-5 with a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth against Edward Mujica.
"It's unbelievable. It's like a dream for me," Cruz said. "I'm just trying to go out there and give a hundred percent and play hard every time. I'm having the chance to come through in big situations. I'm not going to say I'm lucky, but I've been really concentrating and having good at-bats."
Ronald Belisario (6-1) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the victory. Kemp helped make it possible in the top of the ninth. He crashed into the fence trying to catch Yadier Molina's drive over his head, but recovered in time and kept him from stretching his hit into a triple with a brilliant somersaulting throw to Cruz.

Sasha Banks and Snoop Dogg
For those of you that do not know, the new NXT Women's Champion has a very famous cousin. Sasha Banks is directly related to Snoop Dogg. While we are still awhile away from her being called up to the main roster, the belief is that WWE will attempt to capitalize on this relationship to help bring further attention to their product. The world famous rapper from Long Beach is a big fan of professional wrestling and would likely get involved.

Charlotte on main roster
Now that she has dropped the NXT title to Sasha Banks, rumors have been floating heavily around that Charlotte will be called up to the main roster in WWE any day now. With that being the case, there are now speculations that management could use this as an opportunity to bring Ric Flair back into the mix. He maintains a good working relationship with the company, and officials feel that he can still bring enough entertainment to their shows.

Pokemon X
This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
Pokemon would be great with a Class System
Biker! There's a time and place for everything! But not now.
this is a very good idea overall with a large amount of possibilities.
...and bababooey to y'all
erekwashere15 posted...
It would add something more to the game, but what would the requirements be to become a certain class?
You start off as a nurse at a Pokemon Center and decide you want to become a Pokemon master. Or for like a biker you'd be part of a biker gang and decide to become a Pokemon master.
Yeah you could buy specific clothes for each characters class.
changing class at will would be a necessity though, or at least have the ability some way. maybe you can only change at home? or at any pokemon center? some new building in one specific city?
idunno theres a million ways to run it but I would NOT want to be stuck in a single class for the entire game
...and bababooey to y'all
*plays as Team Grunt, destroys Team*
In all seriousness though, I approve of this idea, though you're not the first to think of it.
Here are some of my ideas:
Gambler: Receive 10% more money after winning battles.
Ace Trainer: Pokemon receive 5% more XP and gain EVs more quickly.
Bug Catcher (or other type specialist): Friendship with Bug-types (or other type) raises more quickly, more likely to successfully catch wild Bug-types (or other type).
Ranger: Harvesting berries yields more.
Doctor/Nurse: Healing items restore 25% more HP.
4e is not D&D, but WoW making a Disguise check.
Pokemon Black Friend Code: 0605-2800-9952; Trainer Name: Solace; First Pokemon (roleplaying): Snivy (Monty)
bikers are too op
they should not be able to bike up stairs

I think a class/occupation system would bring a lot more depth to the pokemon games. Something like:
i think this should be a thing anyway, let pokemon naturally recover over time, nothing fast like 1 hp per step but maybe 1 hp per 50-75 steps maybe? no pp regen and maybe a rare chance if any at curing statuses tho

GeminiDeus posted...No way. Then, by taking your example, Biker has no advantage at all in battle over a Bug Trainer.
how exactly does it break the fourth wall?

I think a class system would work if it didn't influence the actual battles, but maybe outside variables like catch rates, natures, berries growth, etc.

Genius. If your in the Bug Catcher class, the Net Ball has just became the Master Ball for bug types lol

Such a cool toy/perch
posted 7 years ago
This perch is so much fun for birds. The only thing is that its hard for some birds to get past the sticks. But they love chewing on them and shredding the paper from the sticks. Might be too big for smaller cages, but fun to have.
Pros: Super fun
Cons: Only one way off

Ark. treasurer accused of taking cash from broker
"The incompetence that has been uncovered, the criminal charges that are pending, and the distraction from her office that due process will involve make her unfit to continue in her service as State Treasurer," Arkansas Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb said.
Banks, Shoffner's attorney, said he "probably" would advise Shoffner to resign, but that the call is ultimately up to her.
"If she cannot properly perform her duties and responsibilities and still protect herself in a crime accusation, then to me it would be something for strong consideration," he told reporters.
Lawmakers could hold impeachment proceedings to remove Shoffner from office if she doesn't resign, but legislative leaders stopped short of saying whether they'd consider it.
Shoffner was arrested at her home in Newport after the broker agreed to record the meeting and bring $6,000 in a pie box, according to the affidavit. FBI agents executed a search warrant and found the cash inside a cigarette package in Shoffner's kitchen.
"Shoffner admitted she knew it was wrong to accept the payments," the affidavit said.
Thyer said he did not know how much the state had invested with the broker, or how much commission the broker made from the bond transactions. Thyer said it wasn't an easy decision for prosecutors to grant immunity to the broker, who he wouldn't name.
"It was a decision made out of necessity more than anything else," the U.S. attorney said. "At the core of this particular conspiracy as alleged in the affidavit there were two people, and if both of those two people remained silent we would not be here today."
The State Securities Department, which regulates brokers, said it would look into who made the payments to Shoffner and whether they were acting alone or on behalf of a firm.
"We're probably going to have to hunt this person down and we're going to do that," Securities Commissioner Heath Abshure said.
The CEO of St. Bernard Financial Services, the firm that legislative auditors said handled the bulk of bond investments by Shoffner's office, said he had not been contacted by the FBI.
Auditors said the office purchased $1.69 billion in bonds from St. Bernard and a related firm between July 2008 and March 2012, almost double the amount purchased from any other broker.
"If my broker is the one involved, I am not aware of it," Robert Keenan wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "At this time I don't believe he was, but anything is possible."

A house from Christchurch's red zone has been given a new
lease of life in Dunedin after it was saved from demolition
and brought south by truck.
Half of the house, from the quake-devastated suburb of
Burwood, was winched on to its new foundations in the suburb
of Corstorphine by a crane yesterday, and the other half -
which is already on site - is to be lifted on to the
foundations in about a week.
It was one of six to be moved by Dunedin house-relocation
company Patterson Contracting, which is selling the houses
for a dollar and only charging buyers transportation costs.
Company owner/operator Brent Patterson said yesterday's job
was the first house from Christchurch's red zone it had
relocated to Dunedin.
The company had been saving houses from demolition since
February. Other houses had been moved to locations around the
South Island, including one to Waikouaiti, Mr Patterson said.
"It's a win-win for everyone, because they get rid of the
house for nothing, someone gets a free house, and we get the
transportation work out of it," he said.
The former owners of the houses were also "stoked" they were
being reused, as opposed to being demolished.
He said it and other relocation companies would save only a
small proportion of red-zone houses: many would end up as
fill in Lyttelton Harbour, where the wharf was being
"It's a good opportunity to do a bit of recycling and do the
right thing, I suppose."
Before being moved, each house was checked by an engineer to
ensure it had not received earthquake damage.
Despite a housing shortage in Christchurch, few houses were
being reused there, because of consent issues, he said.
"They want to get a new city out of their earthquake, so the
[Christchurch City Council] make it about as hard as they can
[to reuse old houses]," he said.
The company hoped to save and relocate at least another 10
houses, he said.

Music of Game of Thrones
The music for the fantasy TV series Game of Thrones by the U.S. cable channel HBO is composed by Ramin Djawadi and published by Varèse Sarabande. The soundtrack is instrumental and features one major theme, the Main Title, which accompanies the series' title sequence.
The music is noted for its popular main theme, which has been covered many times, and for its use of decidedly non-medieval renditions of songs from the series's source novels by noted indie bands. These adaptations, according to Wired, create attention for the series in media that wouldn't normally cover it, but are also notable for their musical merits independent of the series.[1]

Season 1[edit]
|Game of Thrones
|Soundtrack album by Ramin Djawadi
|June 14, 2011
|Varèse Sarabande
|Ramin Djawadi
|Audio sample
Game of Thrones, the soundtrack album for the series' first season, was published in June 2011.
Production and release[edit]
The soundtrack to Game of Thrones was originally to be composed by Stephen Warbeck. On February 2, 2011, only ten weeks prior to the show's premiere, it was reported that Warbeck had left the project and Ramin Djawadi had been commissioned to write the music instead.[2]
To give the series its own distinctive musical identity, according to Djawadi, the producers asked him not to use musical elements such as flutes or solo vocals that had already been successfully used by other major fantasy productions. He mentioned that a challenge in scoring the series was its reliance on dialogue and its sprawling cast: on several occasions already-scored music had to be omitted so as not to get in the way of dialogue.[3]
Djawadi said that he was inspired to write the main title music by an early version of the series's computer-animated title sequence. The title music is reprised as a global theme in the rest of the soundtrack, initially infrequently and as part of the theme of individual characters, then in full towards the end of season 1 during particularly important scenes.[3]
The album was made available for download on iTunes on June 14, 2011, together with a "digital booklet". It was released on CD on June 28, 2011, 41 days after the show's premiere.
Richard Buxton of Tracksounds wrote an ambivalent review, calling the album a "valiant effort" and Djawadi's "most consistently satisfying work to date", but criticized the main theme as falling short of the expectations raised by the opening credits' animated sequence, and the score as a whole as "never quite reaching what it could have been".[4]

Season 2[edit]
|Game of Thrones: Season 2
|Soundtrack album by Ramin Djawadi
|June 19, 2012
|Varèse Sarabande
|Ramin Djawadi
The soundtrack album for the second season, titled Game of Thrones: Season 2, was published on June 19, 2012. The instrumental music by Ramin Djawadi was performed by the Czech Film Orchestra and Choir and recorded at the Rudolfinum concert hall in Prague.
The Rains of Castamere[edit]
A sample of The National 's rendition of The Rains of Castamere.
|Problems playing this file? See media help.
The album contains a rendition of the song "The Rains of Castamere" by the indie rock band The National, sung by their vocalist Matt Berninger.[5] On the published tracklist, the title is spelled "The Rains of Castomere" rather than "Castamere" as in the novels. The spelling is corrected on the printed listing on the liner notes that come with the disc.[6] In the series, the song was played over the end credits of the ninth episode, "Blackwater". An instrumental version can be heard during Tyrion's speech right after King Joffrey abandons the battlefield in the same episode. Tyrion Lannister can be heard whistling the melody in some earlier episodes. In season 3, an instrumental version of "The Rains of Castamere" plays over the end credits in episode 7, "The Bear and the Maiden Fair".[7] In episode 9 of season 3, an instrumental version of "The Rains of Castamere" is played by the musicians at the Tully-Frey wedding.
The song's lyrics are taken from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, in which "The Rains of Castamere" is sung or mentioned several times.[8] It remembers Tywin Lannister's victory over his rebellious vassals Reyne ("the Reynes of Castamere") and Tarbeck, about 40 years before the events of the novels. The stanza of the song that is reproduced in the novels and adapted for the series tells of the vassals' defiance – "And who are you, the proud lord said / That I must bow so low?" – and the subsequent obliteration of their houses: "But now the rains weep o'er his hall / With no one there to hear."
Other Versions[edit]
YouTube content creator Liam Dryden released an extended folk version of The Rains Of Castamere in September 2013, which features additional lyrics written by himself. In addition to the pre-plot history of the defeats of Houses Reyne and Tarbeck, Dryden's extra verses are based on events occurring within the series up until the point of the song's release; specifically including references to the Lannisters' conflicts against Stannis Baratheon and Robb Stark.[9]
On June 10, 2014, Jackie Evancho released a cover of "The Rains of Castamere", which is included in her 2014 album Awakening.[10] Evancho's video for the song can be viewed on YouTube.[11]
Tracksounds 's review was again mixed, describing the score as little more than adequate. Noting a lack of thematic development or dramatic momentum, the reviewer nonetheless appreciated the score's more subdued moments which he considered less forced than the rest of the track.[12]
Track listing[edit]
|Key Scenes/Notes
|Main Title
|Used in the opening sequence
|The Throne Is Mine
|"The North Remembers": during the massacre of Robert Baratheon's bastard children. Contains the melody of the House Baratheon (The King's Arrival) and Petyr Baelish's theme (Chaos is a Ladder).

The title comes from the refrain of the religion of the Drowned God "What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger".

Empire State Building Going Green
The Empire State Building has recently made the decision to change all of its 6,500 windows as part of a retrofit endeavor to transform the tower into an eco-friendly model for the world.
Anthony Malkin, representing the owners, says that the multi-million-dollar project involving a massive upgrade of heating, cooling and lighting systems, will reduce energy consumption by 38%.
Making these changes in the Empire State Building is a huge move, considering that commercial buildings account for 78% of greenhouse emissions in New York.
If it can be done in a 1931 Art Deco skyscraper, it can be done anywhere.
Kathy Baczko at the Clinton Climate Initiative, part of former president Bill Clinton's foundation, which is backing the project said, "It has a real rippling effect beyond this building and this city… it's a new beacon for how you can be energy efficient."
The retrofit will add $20 million to the $500 million cost of a general overhaul taking place at the famous tower.
The refurbishment planners predict that the full efficiency gains will be felt by 2013, bringing in a yearly savings of $4.4 million and putting the skyscraper in the top 10% of greenest office buildings.
Malkin, president of Wien and Malkin, which oversees the building for the owners, likes to emphasize the business side, like the potential to lure higher-paying tenants.
He spoke very ardently about the importance of preventing global warming from turning the world to "toast," but seemed uncomfortable during an interview when it was insinuated that he was a tree hugger.
Malkin, 46, whose office carpet, shirt and even tie were ironically all shades of green said, "It's not about greening…this is sound business. That's what this is about."
Organizers claim that what makes the project unique is its more holistic approach to the root of the problems such as variation in office temperature and finds solutions for them.
"People have looked at specific technologies, the lighting, or the heating, but not at the building as a whole," says Paul Rode, a project executive with the engineering company Johnson Controls.
The analysis took 18 months in which 65 areas were modeled and eight were picked as targets for the retrofit. The projects ranged from window insulation improvements to even occupancy sensors for the lights.
The Empire State Building is best known for its incredible height of 102 tapered floors ending in a multicolored illuminated spire.
Rode says the remake will first begin in the cavernous underground chiller plant portion of the building, which he calls "a time warp."
He says that all the archaic-looking fixtures and control panels are going to get a slick, modern technological upgrade.
The new software and hardware like motors and compressors will be revolutionary to a system currently pumping out heat and cold with little regard to actual demand.
Rode explained how the new windows would complement that newly ecologically modernized system.
"The first thing we noticed was that 6,500 windows provided a lot of light, but also heat," he said.
The current windows are double-glazed. Each will have a third film added that have layers of argon/krypton gas and microscopic aluminum to insulate and repel ultra-violet sunrays.
"We want to let in the visible light, but not the heat-producing, non-visible rays," Rode said.
A former nuclear engineer on navy ships, Rode said that in the beginning he was not looking forward to the idea of working on an office building, but the tower presents "very novel complexities" that have captured his imagination.
One of the greatest challenges presented is performing this complete rejuvenation without affecting the appearance of the historic building or disrupting the 10,500 tenants and nearly four million yearly tourists.
Malkin says that the elegant skyscraper provides "a big lab, a big test bench" for reducing the carbon footprint of older office buildings everywhere.
"Every single thing was done with the understanding that it has to be part of a replicable process."
If the world ignores the challenge, then "it's game over," said Malkin.

I have a 1979 Cal 31' that I've owned for about a year now. I bought her in Santa Cruz and sailed her south to Long Beach during the Coastal Cup this past June. We wound up stuck in 20-30 knts for about two days from Big Sur to Pt. Conception with 12ft seas at 9 sec. Not Fun; but with a double reef in the main and the 73% jib up she did quite well on the downwind run. (The transom does make steering a bit squirrely with an aft quart sea and larger foresails flying.)
There was only two of us; myself and girlfriend so we stayed close and dropped anchor each night to sleep. This caused the trip to drag out for six days. We both have a proficient level of experience and I planned for just such a contingency even though the forecast was 5-10 knts for coastal waters. Even still the experience isn't one I'd seek out again. While the boat handled it well, I wouldn't want to take her through anything much worse.
That being said she is a fantastic vessel. That handles her function (as stated earlier; to race on Wednesday night and cruise with the fam. on weekends) with ease and comfort. She has been serving duty as a weekend channel islands diving platform quite well.

Airport reopened for civilian traffic after 17 hours
Saturday night's attack on the Peshawar airport by terrorists was followed by fierce fighting in the vicinity on Sunday after locals reported that some armed intruders were holed up in an under-construction building.
Backed by the Quick Response Team of the Army, the area police raided the building resulting in two suicide bombers detonating themselves and an intense gun-battle between the terrorists and security personnel. After several hours, the terrorists were killed and the building secured.
In all, 10 terrorists have been killed in the operation that began at the Bacha Khan International Airport around 9 p.m. on Saturday night. According to the Director-General of the Inter Services Public Relations Major General Asim Saleem Bajwa, at least five of the terrorists looked like Uzbeks.
The initial attack on the airport left five terrorists dead. According to Major General Bajwa, this was a multi-pronged attack. First, rockets were fired at the airport , which also houses a base of the Pakistan Air Force and the Army's Aviation Wing, followed by attempts by terrorists to enter the premises from two sides.
While five terrorists rammed their explosives-laden vehicle into one wall of the airport and ran off, firing and lobbing grenades when met with retaliatory fire, terrorists drove another vehicle — equally filled with explosives — into another boundary wall of the sprawling compound. When their vehicle was fired upon, the explosives in this case were detonated, resulting in the death of five terrorists.
Police are working on the premise that the five terrorists holed up in the under-construction building were actually those who had fled from the airport on Saturday after they failed to breach it.
Evoking memories
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack — which brought back memories of the attacks on the Mehran base in Karachi in 2011 and Kamra base in Attock in August this year. While taking responsibility, TTP spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan had said 10 terrorists were involved in the operation.
Meanwhile, the Peshawar Airport reopened for civilian traffic in the afternoon after 17 hours. The provincial administration claimed that the security personnel were successful in repulsing this attack because they had prior information of a possible attempt to besiege the airport which is used by the military to mount air assaults on terrorists in the tribal areas.
