QUETTA, Sept 2: No terrorist attack or incident of sabotage was reported from any part of Balochistan since the announcement of a suspension of resistance by three Baloch militant organisations.

“We have received no information of any bomb blast, rocket attack, landmine explosion, blowing of gas pipeline, rail track and power pylon from any part of the province till late Tuesday night,” a senior police officer told Dawn.

The last incident was reported on Monday afternoon from Khuzdar where an attempt was made to blow up the official vehicle of a DSP with a remote-control bomb.

Spokesmen Beebargh Baloch and Sirbaz Baloch of the Baloch Liberation Army and Baloch Republican Army had announced on Monday night suspension of their movement for an indefinite period.

They denied having reached any deal with the government in this connection.

Political circles here have reacted positively, albeit with surprise, to the organisations’ sudden decision to stop militant activities and said this will pave the way for initiating political dialogue for resolving the Balochistan issue.
