Search and rescue teams found 7 bodies early Tuesday morning trapped inside a cold storage facility at the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, 2 days after the deadly stand-off between 10 Taliban terrorists and local and airport security that resulted in at least 35 deaths, CNN reported.

The storage facility, located beside one of the entry points used by the terrorists, had lost power and caught fire during the attack.

According to local media, the 7 were cargo workers from a private company and speculations suggest that they had hid in the storage area to escape the deadly exchanges but got trapped when the fire broke out.

Search teams worked close to 28 hours and had used heavy equipment to access the cold facility area and retrieve the bodies, according to a Sindh health minister Dr. Saghir Ahmad.

The bodies, blackened and charred beyond recognition, had been sent to the Jinnah Hospital for identification.

Pakistan's busiest airport - Jinnah International Airport - was attacked by 10 heavily-armed militants disguised as security guards, on Sunday night and faced off with Pakistani local and airport security forces that lasted some six hours before authorities were able to take over, the Boston Herald has learned.

Casualties from the attack include 14 civilians, 11 airport security forces, 2 Ranger officials and 1 policeman. All 10 militants were also killed during the fight.

According to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Abdullah Bahar, the siege was a form of revenge for the death of their leader Hakimullah Mehsud who died last year from a U.S. drone stike, Zee News India reported.

"As long as we are breathing, our attacks will be continuing 'til the end of our lives," he added.

"It's just the beginning, we have taken revenge for one (Mehsud), we have to take revenge for hundreds," TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said to the AFP.
