| Quetta handed over to FC |
| 2007-01-28 |
| The control of Quetta city has been handed over to the Frontier Constabulary (FC) to ensure law and order during Muharram. Heavy contingents of FC and armed personnel carriers have been deployed on all entries to the city, sensitive locations and imambargahs. Army has been put on high alert and suspected vehicles and people are being searched. The stern measures follow a suicide bomb explosion in Islamabad. |

| #1 "Muharram is so called because it was unlawful to fight during this month; the word is derived from the word ‘haram’ meaning forbidden. It is held to be the most sacred of all the months, excluding Ramadan". Yep, deploy for a month of no fighting, I have never heard such BS. Kill them all. |
