DASHT, BALOCHISTAN: A major terrorist attack targeting passenger buses was successfully foiled by security forces in the Dasht area on Tuesday.
According to security sources, terrorists from the ‘Fitna Al Hindustan’ Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) had planned to set up roadblocks on the M-8 highway, stop buses, and then identify and target the passengers.

A Quick Response Force was immediately dispatched to the location. A fierce firefight broke out near the Kanchati Cross, lasting several minutes. The security forces overpowered the terrorists, thwarting their plan.
