Security forces 'foil terror bid in Balochistan'
“Terrorists hid the arms to carry out terror activities in the province, but the security forces’ timely action foiled their bid,” the sources said.
Last month, at least nine members of the Christian community were killed and 57 others wounded when two suicide bombers struck a church in Quetta where worshippers were attending service ahead of Christmas, officials said.
