| [Dawn] Police have been placed on high alert across Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... following an attack on a cop shoppe and Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) offices in Kharan by gunnies who entered the city late on Saturday night. Sources said the attackers stormed the city cop shoppe, ransacked official records and set the building on fire. They also entered the CTD office, destroyed its record and later set the premises ablaze. Officials said security forces rushed to the area after receiving information about the attack and launched operations against the attackers in different parts of Kharan city. Heavy firing continued until late at night, while large contingents of Frontier Corps (FC) and police personnel were deployed at the entry and exit points of the city as well as other sensitive locations. The armed attackers, who were reportedly in large numbers, later beat feet from Kharan. A search operation by security forces was continuing. However, a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all... no casualties were reported in the exchange of fire or during the attacks on the cop shoppe and CTD offices. Following the incident, the authorities declared a province-wide high alert and directed all officials to immediately report to their respective cop shoppes. They were asked to remain fully armed and prepared for any emergency, while unnecessary movement was restricted as a precautionary measure.
