VBIED attack against Balochistan Constabulary at Kaneri Bridge

[Sifar zero]

Most probably TTP is behind this attack

TTP has a good strong network in Balochistan and unlike KPK we don't see a lot of action against them

My guess is ISKP they had a good network in Sibbi.
They even carried out an attack last year near the Sibbi festival.

Look at what they were given to ride around in, inside an insurgency infested area.
This is not just incompetence or negligence. This is criminal. Whoever made those poor soldiers drive around in that in such an area should be harshly punished. Before anyone says we can’t afford mraps or some bs similar to it, is it too much to add armour plating on the sides of similar trucks to at least add basic level protection against small arms and vbieds? What happened to all those designs of uparmoured Hilux and other armoured vehicles? Any basic protection could have saved multiple lives. Maybe generals should stop buying Mercedes and BMW and actually care for their soldiers for once. And yes army is responsible for Balochistan Constabulary.

Use of armoured vehicles will reduce the casualties in Balochistan by 90%. Almost every attack is an IED attack on army pickup trucks. They get scattered to pieces by few kg of explosives. Yesterday there was an IED attack in Gwadar area and it completely destroyed FC pickup truck

Another day and another dozen or so security members killed.
It will never end. More and more will be killed. GHQ is not intrested in those lost souls who were murdered protecting the mother land.

8 policemen, one civilian martyred in suicide attack on Balochistan Constabulary van in Bolan​

March 6, 2023

Nine individuals, including eight policemen and one civilian, were martyred in a suicide attack on a Balochistan Constabulary van in the Dhadar tehsil of the Kacchi district in Bolan on Monday.

According to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, the blast occurred at 10am on the Kambri bridge in the area bordering the Sibi and Kachhi districts.

He said the police van was returning to Quetta from Dhadar, where the Balochistan Constabulary personnel — a department of the provincial police force that provides security at important events and in sensitive areas, including jails — was posted for duty at a Sibi cultural festival.

“The van collided with a motorcycle which was being driven by a suicide bomber. As a result, nine people were martyred, of which one was a civilian,” Sanaullah said, adding that 13 people were injured in the attack.

Three wounded persons, he went on to say, were in critical condition. “We fear the death toll will increase to double digits.”

The minister said no organisation had so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

He stated that the injured people had been immediately flown to Quetta via a helicopter and the federal government was closely coordinating with the Balochistan government with regard to the martyred, their compensation and the medical treatment of the wounded.

Earlier, Kachhi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mahmood Notezai told Dawn.com that an emergency had been imposed at hospitals across Quetta.

He also said that bomb disposal squads and security personnel had arrived at the blast site and cordoned it off to collect evidence.

‘No cuts in resources provided to LEAs’​

Sanaullah asserted that law enforcement agencies, including the police and counter-terrorism departments, were working in synergy to eliminate terrorism from the country.

“I also want to bring this on record that despite the prevailing economic situation […] and that austerity measures are being employed everywhere […] no cut has been made in the resources being provided to law enforcement agencies to maintain peace,” he said.

Sanaullah assured that all the promises made in the apex committee, which was attended by all the provincial and federal governments, were being fulfilled on a priority basis.

“With the resolute resolve of the nation, we will soon control this new wave of terrorism,” the minister promised.

Condemnations​

Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo condemned the attack and expressed grief at the number of casualties.

He said terrorist elements wanted to accomplish their wicked aims through cowardly actions, adding that they were conspiring to keep Balochistan under-developed by creating unrest and instability in the province.

“All such conspiracies will be made unsuccessful with the public’s support,” the chief minister vowed in a statement.

Bizenjo conveyed his sympathies to the families of the martyred, asserting that they were national heroes. “The sacrifices of the martyred will not go to waste,” he promised.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the incident as well and paid tribute to the valour of the martyred policemen, APP quoted the premier’s press release as saying.

He said terrorism in Balochistan was part of a nefarious design to create instability in the country and promised to free the country from the menace of terrorism.

Later in a tweet, he said that the policemen who were martyred in Bolan today were “heroes of the nation” and prayed for the bereaved families.

Also, Sanaullah expressed deep grief and sorrow over the loss of precious lives in the attack.

He paid tribute to the martyrs and sought a report from the authorities concerned about the incident.

Surge in terrorism​

Over the past few months, the law and order situation in the country has worsened, with terrorist groups executing attacks with near impunity across the country.

Since the talks with the TTP broke down in November, the militant group has intensified its attacks, particularly targeting the police in KP and areas bordering Afghanistan. Insurgents in Balochistan have also stepped up their violent activities and formalised a nexus with the outlawed TTP.

According to statistics released by the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), an Islamabad-based think-tank, January 2023 remained one of the deadliest months since July 2018, as 134 people lost their lives — a 139 per cent spike — and 254 received injuries in at least 44 militant attacks across the country.

Indeed dear brother , how can anyone forget the republics greatest 9/11 General ever to come out of GHCQ , by some on here. The only talk on here is about fighting Kabul but no jihad for real enemy ( india ) to reclaim our lost lands and peoples in IOK. I will go as far to say Taliban have more balls than a country possessing nukes and f16s. The real man was ( ZIA-UL-HAQ) soldier of Islam. He would have taken Kashmir by now , it be better if taliban took over Pakistan will give it some honour & balls internationally instead of USA puppet

BS

Why BS?
General Bajwa seem it fit to overthrow a democratically elected government, replace it with corrupts and, brag about it like he did some good deed, but army cannot help Balochistan Constabulary getting slaughtered at the hands of terrorists in Balochistan? Army already stepped out its line to interfere with civilian government roles. Since paramilitary forces come under MOI and the current MOI is part of the regime brought by bajwa, yes army is responsible for Balochistan constabulary.
