This cell had been receiving intelligence inputs since long that a specific group of militants was smuggling weapons in large numbers into Balochistan from some areas of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. These weapons were going to be used for a series of terrorist activities across the province. Last week, on leads from intelligence agencies, the Frontier Corps in Balochistan along with the Balochistan Police conducted a successful operation and seized a large cache of weapons and ammunition; this was being transported on a truck en route to Balochistan. Several AK-47s, pistols, magazines, torches, telescopes and bullets were among the items recovered.
Prior to this, the intelligence agencies tipped off Frontier Corps and Baloch Police forces who then recovered large numbers of items used for bomb blasts from Pir Alizai forest area of Balochistan. The items included explosive material, remote-controlled detonators, prima cards and an assortment of switches, which were being imported to plan a host of terrorist activities across the province.
According to reliable information with security agencies, the militants in Balochistan have the support and help of Afghanistan's notorious spy agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS). Furthermore, it was revealed that the NDS is not alone in all these activities, rather it has the assistance of various other foreign powers behind-the-scenes.
Later, Balochistan's Home Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti was given a briefing and exhibit of the seized weapons and ammunitions by Frontier Corps personnel.
