4 troops killed in Turbat attack
2004-12-26
QUETTA: Unidentified people attacked two vehicles of paramilitary forces in Turbat, killing at least four personnel and injuring five, Frontier Corps officials said on Saturday. "Four personnel of our forces were killed by a rocket while five others were hit by bullets when saboteurs attacked a patrolling party late on Friday night," said Frontier Corps Lieutenant Colonel Rizwan Malik. "Their vehicles were patrolling in the Newano area, about 650 kilometres west of Quetta, when hit by the rocket propelled grenade." The injured were rushed to a local hospital and were later shifted to Quetta. Lt Col Malik said the troops had launched a search for the attackers. "It is too early to say who carried out this attack, but we have launched an operation there to trace and arrest the attackers," he said, giving no other details.
You might want to give some thought to tracing and killing the attackers.
