The early morning raid took place in Dera Bugti district, about 400 kilometres southeast of lovely provincial capital Quetta, they said.

"Armed men believed to be several dozens attacked the post and whisked away five members of the tribal force in their vehicles after forcing them to surrender," provincial chief secretary Akbar Durrani told AFP.

One man who resisted was rubbed out by the assailants, he said.
