FC conducts IBO in Balochistan

QUETTA: Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan conducted an Intelligence Based Operation (IBO) in Shirani, Dera Murad Jamali on Saturday, the army's media wing confirmed.

This military action is part of Operation Raad-ul-Fasaad during which the army successfully recovered weapons, ammunition, mobile sims and communication equipment that were being used to harm the peace in Balochistan.



Last year, the FC Balochistan recovered 18 hostages from a terrorist hideout in the province.

During the operation, 18 hostages including two Pakistani and 19 foreigners (Nigerian and Yemeni) were recovered. They were kept as hostages by militants.

In another operation conducted in Gandimgozi Kaur, Balochistan Frontier Corps (FC) killed two militants in a hideout. Arms and ammunitions were also recovered during the operation.



Targeted operations have been intensified in the province recently to further intensify efforts to take targeted action against the terrorists and their facilitators including those providing them shelter in Balochistan.

Balochistan’s apex committee in August decided to continue supporting the ongoing action against terrorism in the province.
