| 2010-12-23 |
| [Pak Daily Times] The Frontier Corps (FC) jugged Jamhoori Watan Party chief Shahzain Bugti along with his 27 guards at the Buleli checkpost and recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition from his motorcade on Wednesday morning. Shahzain was returning from Chaman, a border town with Afghanistan, after offering fateha for the late Jilani Khan, an ANP leader, when his motorcade was stopped for identification and search, which Shahzain reportedly refused. FC personnel blocked the road and asked all of them to come out of their vehicles. Shahzain and his guards refused to come out. The FC personnel smashed the windscreen of the vehicle and dragged him out forcibly. TV footage had also shown mistreatment to him during his arrest. However, The infamous However... the FC officials denied any maltreatment of Shahzain, the grandson of the late Akbar Bugti. According to an FC front man, the weapons and ammunition recovered from the vehicles included two 14.5 mm anti-aircraft, 14 kaboom boxes of anti-aircraft guns, 42,000 rounds, landmines, two grenade launchers, 43 Kalashnikovs and 16 illegal vehicles. Shahzain described the arrest as a conspiracy of the security agencies to stop him from going back to Dera Bugti from where he announced a long march on January 28. Later, talking to news hounds, inspector general of FC Balochistan, Major General Ubaidullah Khan, said there was secret information about smuggling of arms. Shahzain was given three hours to justify carrying weapons but he tried to flee. The security personnel had no choice but to arrest him, he claimed. He said he would be handed over to the police. Inspector general of Balochistan Police Malik, Muhammad Iqbal, who also accompanied the FC IG, said Interior Minister Rehman Malik was closely monitoring the situation and had ordered formation of a joint investigation team comprising DIG police, ISI and IB officials to probe the matter. |

| #4 Akbar Bugti was once asked by a journalist about 'jihad'. He replied "I have no use for a God that needs me to fight his battles". |
