QUETTA: Law enforcement agencies have arrested three terrorists involved in the martyrdom of SHO Kharan, with one of the suspects confessing that he received terrorist training in Afghanistan.
The arrests were disclosed during a joint press conference by the Additional Chief Secretary (Home) and DIG Counter Terrorism Department (CTD), where a confessional video of an arrested terrorist was also played.
The Additional Chief Secretary (Home) said that 78,000 intelligence-based operations (IBOs) were conducted across Balochistan in 2025, resulting in the killing of 707 terrorists, while more than 200 security personnel were martyred during these operations. He said all institutions carried out joint intelligence-led actions.
He added that a successful IBO was carried out in Kharan on Saturday, leading to the arrest of three suspects. The official warned that terrorists have increasingly begun targeting civilians, citing incidents including the abduction of children during a picnic in Pir Ghaib and the martyrdom of an assistant commissioner belonging to a Baloch family.
He further stated that the United States designated the Baloch Liberation Organisation (BLO) and Majid Brigade as terrorist organisations on August 11. A Red Notice Cell has been established under the supervision of the Chief Minister Balochistan to pursue terrorists operating abroad, and authorities will coordinate with Interpol.
The official said a new project is being launched to grant additional powers to the police and CTD, expressing confidence that this would produce positive results.
