The team that went for the recovery of two senior government officials, who were kidnapped by terrorists from Tump town in Balochistan’s Kech district, were also abducted on Friday.
The recovery team was headed by Dasht Assistant Commissioner Naeem Ghichki, two tehsildars and three Levies’ personnel. They were kidnapped by terrorists from Gomazai.
The banned terrorist outfit Baloch Liberation Front (BLF) had claimed responsibility for the first incident of kidnapping.
Earlier on Thursday, the deputy commissioner and the assistant commissioner of Kechh district were returning after a meeting with Iranian border officials when they were intercepted by dozens of armed men.
The gunmen had overpowered at least 18 staff and security personnel accompanying the two officials and ordered the convoy to follow them.
The gunmen had later allowed the staff and security personnel to go but took away the DC and AC.
