 A group of about 40 rebel tribesmen downed arms and surrendered Saturday to authorities in Balochistan, officials said. “A total of 40 Bugti tribesmen including five of their commanders have surrendered with weapons and explosives in Sui,” DCO Abdus Samad Lasi told AFP. “They surrendered unconditionally.” The government is considering offering amnesty to Bugti fighters who were not wanted for laying landmines and attacks on security forces, Lasi said. Bugti’s spokesman Agha Shahid denied the allegations, and said the 40 men were “robbers” and had no links with the tribal elder. |
