RAWALPINDI: The Frontier Corps (FC) Balochistan and intelligence agencies on Sunday recovered a heavy cache of arms and ammunition in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Balochistan, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) department said.
The IBO,conducted in Channah Nullah andChatthar area near Dera Murad Jamali, was part of the ongoing Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad that was launched this year on February 22.
Law enforcement agencies recovered 850 kilograms of black Explosives, 252 grenades, 236 grenade fuses, ammunition for machine guns, and a sniper rifle, the military’s media wing said.
The FC Balochistan foiled a major terror bid last month by recovering 1,300 kilograms of ammunition in search operations conducted in a number of areas across the province.
The operation was conducted in Kohlu, Ghazi Nullah and Naseerabad.
A statement issued by the ISPR said that the recovered ammunition was intended for use in terror strikes in the province. SMG, rockets, grenades, and maps of sensitive sites were also recovered by the security officials.
