Bureau Report
QUETTA—A group of around 22 insurgents laid down their arms and
surrendered before the authorities in Balochistan, officials said on
Saturday.
”A total of 22 tribesmen belonging to Marri tribe have surrendered with
weapons and explosives in the town of Sibbi, a security official said.
“They surrendered unconditionally and have promised to live peacefully,”
he added.
The rebels had been hiding at three fugitives camps known as Karmo Wadh,
Haftpur and Bangan and had been taking part in anti-state activities, he
said.
A rebel commander said that the group had surrendered arms after
realising that their tribe had been fighting for a unrealistic cause.
“We were mislead by our people that our nation will get independence and
that there will be prosperity, but that never happened,” leader Wadera
Tawwakal Marri said. |
