Since many friends have been asking about the #Baloch lady, who carried out #karachiuniversity suicide attack. Here is little detail I can offer at this moment.
Shari, aka Baramsh, was a primary school teacher in her native #Kech district. She completed her B.Ed in 2014 and M.Ed in 2018. She did her Master's in zoology from the University of Balochistan and Mphil at Allama Iqbal Open University, Turbat campus.
Shari has two kids, each as old as five. Her husband is a dentist doctor, and her father served as a Director in a government agency. Later her father was a member of the District Council for three years.
[Thread]: Army Chief's visit to #Turbat, #Balochistan! COAS faced some tough questions during his visit to Turbat University on Tuesday. COAS also averted questions about @BAwamiParty's emergence, performance, & military role in bringing it in power by snatching others' mandates.
Local elders, including members of Haq-Do-Tehreek of #Balochistan, repeatedly criticized the military for backing BAP and pushing genuine #Baloch leaders to the wall. COAS admitted backing BAP wasn't a useful idea but reiterated that the formation of BAP wasn't a military idea.
COAS & the army faced severe criticism for snatching Syed Ihsan Shah & National Party's mandate. Shah is a local politician & provincial MP who contested on NA271. He faced severe problems making it to National Assembly only because the military wanted Zobeda Jalal in NA.
#Pakistan Army chief #COAS was at #Panjgur today, a district adjoining #Iran border where terrorists mounted a sophisticated attack on Feb 2. He visited the battle site and reviewed preparations "to fail hostile efforts to destabilize #Balochistan." /1
#Pakistan's military releases first official statement on a terrorist attack in #Kech bordering #Iran & close to #Afghanistan that resulted in 10 soldiers and 1 terrorist killed, several attackers injured. 3 terrorists have been captured after an intense battle. /1
The attack occurred on the night of 25/26 Jan 2022. Terrorists attacked a security post of a paramilitary followed by "intense exchange of fire," according to a #Pakistan military statement. A clearance op is still underway around #Kech, a #Balochistan district bordering #Iran /2
Capturing of terrorists alive is a breakthrough that can assist in intelligence gathering but the high casualty figure in the latest attack caps a rising wave of terror attacks mainly along #Pakistan's border regions with #Afghanistan and #Iran that have picked since 2020. /3
