GWADAR: Security personnel arrested three suspected militants belonging to a banned organisation during a search operation in Pishkan.

A large quantity of arms and ammunition was seized from the hideout, the sources added.

Identified as Ahmed, Nadeem and Zulfiqar, the suspects were allegedly linked to the banned Balochistan Liberation Army. They were handed over to authorities concerned for interrogation.
