The suspected was arrested near a park in Quetta’s Satellite Town when teams of CTD and intelligence agencies conducted an operation in the area against the outlawed Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), a CTD spokesperson said.

The woman was arrested with a bag that contained the suicide jacket weighing four to five kilograms, the spokesperson added.

She was separated from her children and turned into a suicide bomber, the report added.

Furthermore, Mahal Baloch’s husband, Bebegar Baloch alias Nadeem, belonged to the armed wing of BLF while her father, Muhammad Hussain, belongs to the central committee of the Baloch National Movement (BNM).
