Security agencies thwarted a terror threat on Tuesday by defusing an anti-tank landmine in the Shambey area, some six kilometres off Gwadar Town. Local police said that unidentified miscreants had planted the landmine along the road to target vehicles travelling by. Police said the mine was detected and defused by a team of law enforcing agencies. “The explosion would have caused immense damage had the landmine, containing some 14 kilogramme highly combustible explosive, gone off,” a police official told APP. Police registered a case against unidentified criminals.
