Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti said on Monday that intelligence agencies prevented a major catastrophe by arresting a female suicide bomber in Balochistan who was tasked with carrying out a terrorist attack in Islamabad.
CM Bugti, addressing a press conference in Quetta alongside the detained woman, said the suspect was on a suicide mission in the federal capital and intelligence agencies foiled the terrorism plan via a timely action. The chief minister said terrorists have no connection with Baloch traditions, adding that while the government wanted girls to receive education, terrorists were forcing them into suicide missions. CM Bugti further said the woman had been threatened that her father would be killed if she refused to carry out the suicide attack.
The Balochistan chief minister thanked intelligence agencies for saving the country from a major disaster.
In September 2024, the provincial government presented a suspected female suicide bomber, Adeela Baloch, before the media, who was arrested in Turbat, where she said security agencies rescued her after a separatist group allegedly attempted to exploit her.
