FC arrests 81 suspects, recovers huge cache of arms from Balochistan: ISPR

Frontier Constabulary (FC) with the support of law enforcing agencies (LEAs) and security forces arrested 81 suspects from Balochistan within a week, said Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

ISPR on Saturday claimed that during the last week, the LEAs and security forces conducted intelligence based as well as counter terrorism operations across the province, foiling terrorist plots.

The statement also claimed that a huge cache of arms and ammunition was also recovered during the operations.

"Alongside, 32 Area Dominating Operations were also carried out in Quetta City in collaboration with young volunteers from civil society," it said.

A large number of terrorists, including those associated with outlawed Baloch Republican Army and Baloch Liberation Army surrendered to security forces, "bringing stability in the areas," the statement read.
