On the night of February 18, 2023, CTD and intelligence agencies received credible information that the banned terrorist outfit intends to carry out a signature suicide attack on key installations or law enforcement agencies in Quetta.
The official of CTD Quetta conducted an IBO near Ladies Park in Satellite Town, whereby a pedestrian woman with a shoulder bag as identified by the source was stopped with the help of lady searchers. Upon searching the bag, a suicide jacket was recovered weighing 4-5 kg.
The woman belonged to the proscribed Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF). She has been identified as Mahbal w/o Bebagar alias Nadeem, he added.
A case has been lodged against her under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
The spokesperson added that she was transferred to an unknown location for further investigation. “Important revelations are expected in the investigation.”
The accused woman was produced before the court of law for her physical custody.
An investigation has been launched to arrest the remaining members of the network. CTD said more raids are planned for other areas of Balochistan.
