2006-05-21
Unidentified men fired at least eight rockets at Frontier Corps (FC) check posts in Dera Bugti on Saturday. "FC check posts came under rocket attack in Loti, Pir Koh and Chashma on Saturday," sources told Daily Times. They said that the FC personnel retaliated to the attack. However, no loss of life or property was reported. "The rockets came from the mountainous areas. The attackers retreated when the FC personnel fired back," the sources said. The Dera Bugti administration has started investigating the matter.

Also on Saturday, the FC seized 489 kilogrammes of explosive devices and 29 rifles on Saturday following a raid in Dera Bugti. According to the details, an FC team headed by Bamboor Rifles Commandant Colonel Furkhanuddin seized explosive devices during a raid in the Patukh area of Dera Bugti. "We came to know that terrorists had dumped a large quantity of weapons and were planning to cause massive damage," said FC spokesman Omer Farooq. Dera Bugti District Coordination Officer Abdul Samad Lasi told the media that the operation was a "great achievement", as the men who possessed the weapons were planning further destruction in the area.
