Islamabad:
Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has strongly condemned the terrorist attack on Karachi naval base, saying such "cowardly acts of terror could not deter the commitment of the government and people of Pakistan to fight terrorism".
Gilani spoke to Interior Minister Malik and was constantly in touch with the three service chiefs regarding the incident, an official statement said.
Suspected militants stormed a naval base in Karachi late on Sunday night, rocking one of the nation's heavily guarded military installations with fiery explosions. The attack, which comes just three weeks after the death of Osama bin Laden, left at least 10 people dead.
The unilateral American raid that killed bin Laden had triggered a strong backlash against Washington, as well as rare domestic criticism against the armed forces for failing to detect or prevent the operation.
The attackers also blew up a P-3C Orion aircraft in one of the most brazen attacks in years.
