Chief Minister Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri on Tuesday announced the formation of a joint interrogation team (JIT) to probe the bombing in Mastung.

“Through the JIT, we would apprehend the terrorists involved in the terror act,” said Zehri to Deputy Chairman Senate Abdul Ghafoor Haideri at the Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Quetta.

The JIT would comprise police officials and personnel of various law enforcement agencies.
