The release stated, “Today, freedom fighters targeted a rally of the so-called “Victory Celebrations” organized under the patronage of occupying Pakistani Army in Quetta with a grenade attack on Munir Mengal Road. The rally was being led by so-called MPA Ali Madad Jattak. Freedom fighters targeted armed death squad agents ahead of the rally. As a result of the attack 1 death squad agent was eliminated and 12 were injured.”

But today truth has become clear to the world that Baloch liberation movement has taken a strong shape with public sup-port where occupying army does not consider itself safe in any corner of Balochistan,” stated the press release.
