Banned Baloch Republican Army (BRA) has accepted responsibility for various target killing attacks in the province. Spokesman of the banned outfit Sarbaz Baloch informed agencies via satellite phone, from an unknown location, that BRA was responsible for blowing up vehicles carrying security forces by a remote controlled bomb on the 2nd day of Eid on Saryab road. As a result of this attack nine security personnel were killed while 15 sustained severe injuries and two vehicles were destroyed. He also claimed that the outfit Baloch Sarmacharo had attacked a security forces torture cell in Dera Bugti and destroyed part of the cell.
Several personnel were killed and injured in this attack. The Frontier Corps spokesperson claimed that no such incident had occurred and no torture cell was found in Dera Bugti. “The militants are lying and only want to get attention,” he said.
