Security forces killed three separatist militants on Wednesday after they were fired on while surveying a flood-hit area in Balochistan, officials said.
Sorry. No virgins if you're a separatist militant. | Two paramilitary soldiers, including a senior officer, were also wounded in the gun battle in the Mand area, close to Pakistan's border with Iran. A local official said the attack was allegedly mounted by close relatives of a leader of the Balochistan Liberation Army. "We have identified one of the assailants who was killed in the attack as (the) brother of Wahid Qambar," the official said. Authorities arrested Qambar last year. His family had been pleading with the government for his release, the official added. |
