The attackers destroyed at least two U.S.-supplied surveillance planes and killed 12 security officers.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault in the city of Karachi. The militants said it was revenge for the May 2 American raid that killed al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden and the insurgents were under orders to fight until the death.
