Officials say the detained suspects were involved in recent coordinated attacks in Balochistan
QUETTA: Security forces arrested two most-wanted militants during an intelligence-based operation in Quetta’s Sariab Road area, officials said Tuesday.
The operation was carried out in Chaki Shahwani, a locality situated along Sariab Road, after authorities received credible intelligence regarding the presence of suspected militants.
According to security officials, the arrested men — identified as Haji Sami and Bilal — were allegedly involved in the recent “Hero Two” attacks carried out in Balochistan. Authorities described both suspects as highly wanted and said their detention marks a significant development in ongoing counterterrorism efforts in the province.
Officials added that further investigations are underway to determine the extent of their network and any additional facilitators linked to the attacks.
Balochistan has witnessed a series of militant incidents in recent months, prompting intensified intelligence-based operations aimed at dismantling armed networks operating in the region.
Security forces reiterated their commitment to continuing targeted operations to ensure stability and prevent future attacks.
