Balochistan Frontier Corps and intelligence agencies have seized a large cache of weapons in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Zhob, an Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) statement said on Friday.
According to the statement, the FC and intelligence agencies apprehended a suspected Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) facilitator while conducting an operation at a terrorist hideout in the Pashtun-dominated city of Balochistan.
The statement went to add that weapons, improvised explosive devices (IED), explosives and ammunition ─ suspected to be used in carrying out terrorist activities in the capital city of Quetta ─ were recovered from the terrorist hideout.
In a separate incident, the law enforcement agencies recovered “communication equipment and extremist literature” during an IBO conducted in North Waziristan Agency, the ISPR statement said.
The security operation recovered weapons and ammunition, including mortar, guns, rocket launchers, IEDs and explosives, the army’s media wing said in a statement.
The Pakistan Army started country-wide operations following the deadly bombing at Sehwan shrine, under the umbrella of Operation Raddul Fassad. The operation aims at eliminating the “residual/latent threat of terrorism” and consolidating the gains made in other military operations–Operation Zarb-e-Azb.
