2012-12-27
[Dawn] QUETTA: Several gunnies and a Frontier Corps soldier were killed in festivities during a search operation in various areas of Mashkay subdivision of Awaran district on Tuesday.

Official sources said the FC had launched the operation in Jebri, Mahi and mountainous area of Mashkay after the killing of its two soldiers in a recent attack in Mashkay.

According to a front man of the FC, troops cordoned off the area and launched the operation on the orders of the provincial government after the banned Baloch Liberation Front had killed two FC personnel.

He said an FC convoy was going from Khuzdar to Mashkay when it was attacked.

During the search operation, he said, FC troops raided various hideouts and killed a number of terrorists.

"An FC contingent raided various hideouts in Mashkay and adjoining areas, killed many BLF men, destroyed their two camps and recovered a huge quantity of arms and ammunition," officials said, adding that the FC personnel also collected some evidence from the hideouts.

A soldier of the FC was killed and five others injured in a clash. "Many gunnies of BLF have been killed in the shootout in Mahi and Jebri areas of Mashkay," they claimed.

The FC did not say how many BLF men had been killed, but sources claimed that over a dozen gun-hung tough guys died and many others were maimed in a heavy exchange of fire.
