THIS letter is a salute to the gallant and valorous security forces of Pakistan which recently seized 100 tons of explosives in Quetta.

The Frontier Corps (FC), which has already lost many people fighting the war against terrorism, claimed foiling a major terror bid by seizing more than 100 tons of explosives.

Explosives in such abundance were capable of creating an apocalypse.

It was the same explosive material that was used in the Hazara town bombing.

According to officials, for the first time in the history of the country such a huge quantity of explosives has been seized and the credit goes to the dauntless law enforcers.
