Balochistan governor fears US raid in Quetta

If the Taliban Shura is found to be in Quetta, the US will conduct another unilateral operation, says Magsi.

QUETTA: Balochistan Governor Nawab Zulfiqar Magsi claimed that if the Taliban Shura is present in Quetta, then no one can stop America from conducting another Abbottabad-like attack.

Addressing the fourth convocation of Sardar Bahadur Khan University in Quetta, Magsi said if the Shura exists in the city, then the government should take appropriate measures to deal with it. Magsi expressed fears of another unilateral operation by the US in Pakistan.

The Balochistan governor's comments come after recent media reports citing Mullah Omar's presence in Balochistan.

Earlier this month, the acting Inspector-General of Police Balochistan Ghalib Bandisha ruled out the existence of the Quetta Shura in the provincial capital and said the media should investigate before publishing such reports.
