So far Balochistan provincial government seems to be on track and doing well. I think we should commend their efforts as it is a difficult province to run.
QUETTA: The Frontier Corps (FC) seized a large quantity of explosive materials, suicide jackets and detonators from two illegal bomb factories in Chaman, Express News reported.
Chaman is located in Pakistan on the Pak-Afghan border. The two factories have been shut down following the operation.
Inspector General Frontier Corps (IGFC) Major General Ijaz Shahid and Commander Southern Command Lt Gen Nasser Khan Janjua said during a press conference that suicide jackets, five kilogrammes of ball bearings as well as 17,500 explosive sticks and 23 rockets were seized during the operation.
5,680 small detonators, 3,300 large detonators, 150 Improvised Explosive Device (IED) switches, 1,364 electric circuits, 1,650 anti-tank mines, 526kg of potassium chloride and other weapons were also found and seized.
Modern laboratories were found in both factories where they were experimenting with explosives and chemicals.
Maps of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the world were also recovered from the premises.
Janjua said this was a major accomplishment of the FC who have foiled a terror threat and saved countless innocent lives.
Re: Bomb factories raid: FC seizes huge cache of arms, explosives in Chaman
We congratulate the Frontier Corps on stopping this deadly operation. We commend their efforts and bravery in countering these terrorist operations. They continue to risk their lives in trying to secure the region. It is safe to say that they might have saved many lives by seizing these explosive materials. The terrorists are fully focused on destabilizing the region with their acts of terror. The proximity of this operation to the common border highlights the importance of shared cooperation between the regional partners. It is safe to assume that the terrorists are working against our forces on both sides of the border. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to combine our strength against our common enemies. We wish to see peace prevail throughout the region, and hope to achieve our shared peace objectives through each other’s assistance.
