According to Levies officials, a convoy of FC and Levies was escorting Iran-bound buses of Shia pilgrims on Quetta-Taftan Highway when security personnel spotted a suspicious vehicle parked along the road in Dringar area of Mastung. The FC personnel stopped the convoy and got off to search the vehicle. As they reached closer to the vehicle a huge blast occurred, killing two FC personnel on the spot, Levies officials said, adding that the pilgrims remained unharmed in the attack. Talking to newsmen, Mastung Assistant Commissioner Shafqat Anwar confirmed the incident and said that it was a remote-controlled kaboom and apparently the Shia pilgrims were the prime target. After the incident, the security personnel cordoned off the area and the pilgrims were safely escorted from the area to their destination.
