The Taliban militants who attacked Karachi's naval dockyard over the weekend wanted to hijack a Pakistani navy missile frigate, media reports said, even as at least 17 navy personnel have been detained for their alleged involvement in the assault.

All the 17 detained persons are either serving or former navy personnel, according to reports in local media. "The investigators and security personnel have been able to extract plenty of important information from the four attackers who were captured during the attack that took place last Saturday," an official said.
