QUETTA: A big ISKP (DAESH) terrorist plot was foiled in Quetta, saving the city from a major disaster when Akram Zehri-led cell of the terrorist organisation was busted in Bolan.
Four terrorists, including Akram Zehri, a proclaimed offender with head money, were killed in an IBO conducted by the CTD Balochistan in Ab-e-Gum area of District Bolan. Arms and explosives were also recovered.
The CTD Balochistan had long been pursuing this particular cell of ISKP, planning attacks on strategic locations in Quetta. The CTD was tipped off about the location of the DAESH terrorists at a hideout in the mountains of Abe Gum, district Bolan. Acting on actionable intelligence, the CTD team raided the hideout and challenged the terrorists to surrender. According to the CTD spokesman, the terrorists instead attacked the LEA team with indiscriminate firing, which was retaliated.
