District administration and security forces foiled a major bid of terrorism in Balochistan’s Pishin district on Monday. Qaim Khan Lashari, the Deputy Commissioner Pishin said the bomb disposal squad defused two bombs weighing 10kgs near a flour mill.

The Deputy Commissioner and other senior officers of the law enforcement agencies keenly monitored the defusing of bombs. “Major terror bid foiled”, Mr. Lashari said. The miscreants had parked the motorcycle to cause maximum human losses. Detonators, bullets, nails, explosives planted in bombs to cause maximum human losses, he mentioned.

Forces timely reacted and foiled the terror bid

Security personnel timely acted and defused both bombs. This incident has come a day after the miscreants blown up a railway track in the Bolan district of Balochistan. The blast caused the suspension of train service between Balochistan and other parts of the country. Later in the day, the railway’s technical team repaired the damaged portion of the track, and train service restored between Balochistan and other parts of the country.

In Pishin, miscreants in the past have targeted levies (tribal policing) personnel through low-scale bomb explosions. Security tightened in and around the district after the recovery of two bombs. Police and Levies personnel tightened checking of all vehicles leaving and entering into the districts at all exit and entry points to avert any untoward incident.
