Quetta, April 29 (NVI) In a setback to the occupying Pakistani military’s spying network in Balochistan, freedom fighters of Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) have killed an officer of the intelligence agency ISI, along with another agent, and injured a third associate in a targeted operation.
The BLA fighters also targeted vehicles of occupying Pakistani army, police and the Saindak Project and set up a blockade on the main highway during the last 48 hours, according to the outfit.
In an operation based on specific information, the BLA fighters blew up a vehicle in Pasni city of Gwadar district of Balochistan and killed ISI officer Muhammad Nawaz, a resident of Khushab district of Pakistani Punjab, its spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said.
