Baluchistan - Pakistani paramilitary troops have killed at least 34 suspected Baluch rebels during a three day operation in the violence wracked southwestern province of Baluchistan, the government said on Saturday.
"The operation concluded today in which a huge quantity of arms and ammunition was also recovered from their camps, which were destroyed by the security forces," said Sarfaraz Ahmed Bugti, the provincial home minister at a press conference.
Bugti said those killed included Abdul Nabi Bangulzai, allegedly a "main commander" of the United Baloch Army, one of several armed separatist groups fighting Pakistani forces in the province.
