 Jamhoori Watan Party leader Shahid Bugti claimed on Saturday that Frontier Corps personnel had taken up positions in trenches in Dera Bugti they had vacated after Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Senator Mushahid Hussain reached a peace agreement with local tribes. Locals confirmed that the FC men were mobilised and both sides had taken up positions. Tribesmen and Frontier Corps had vacated the positions after armed clashes on March 17 which left more than 70 people dead. Shahid Bugti said that the FC had set up new posts. He said he did not know why the FC was mobilised, but it could be preparing for an "aggression". He said the Baloch Liberation Army had accepted responsibility for the firing of rockets in Kohlu recently but this was no reason for the government to target Dera Bugti. |
